British journalist Julian Borger has carved a prominent voice in media as The Guardian's world affairs editor, but recently, he's been working to uncover a story close to his heart - his own family history - which has ties to the very newspaper he works for. In August 1938, an advertisement ran in The Manchester Guardian - now The Guardian - reading: "I seek a kind person who will educate my intelligent boy". That boy was Julian's father - Robert Borger - then an 11-year-old Jewish boy living under Nazi rule in Austria. It was only after his dad tragically took his own life that Julian learned of his past. Julian has just released a book, I Seek A Kind Person, following the lives the advertised children of the Holocaust, and where they ended up.
