Warner Bros amends description of Holocaust film One Life to include 'Jewish' following backlash

Warner Bros has been criticised over their wording of the synopsis for the newly released Holocaust film One Life highlighting the real-life heroism of Sir Nicholas Winton.

The synopsis failed to highlight an important element of the story which was that the hundreds of children Sir Nicholas rescued from the Nazis were Jewish.

Put forth by UK distributor Warner Bros, the short summary reads: “The story of British humanitarian Nicholas Winton, who helped save hundreds of Central European children from the Nazis on the eve of World War II.”


Even in Warner Bros’ longer summary of the film, which provides further details about the characters and plot, there was no mention of the children’s Jewish identity until Thursday afternoon.
