Overview

• Promotional materials for the film 'One Life', starring Anthony Hopkins, have been edited to acknowledge that the majority of the children saved by Nicholas Winton from the Nazis were Jewish.
• The initial descriptions used the term 'Central European' to describe the children, leading to accusations of Jewish erasure.
• The film tells the story of Nicholas Winton, who saved 669 children from Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia, the majority of whom were Jewish.
• Retailer HMV, Warner Bros, and the BBC were among those who updated their descriptions to specify that the children were 'predominantly Jewish'.
• The film's producers and distributors have stressed that there was no intention to cause offence or to erase the Jewish identity of the children.
