Stephen Fry: Willem & Frieda – Defying the Nazis, 9.00pm, Channel 4
The actor and writer Stephen Fry visits Amsterdam to learn about a remarkable couple during the occupation of the Netherlands in the Second World War.
Painter Willem Arondeus and cellist Frieda Belinfante used their artistic skills to forge identity cards that saved thousands of Jews from the death camps.
The Nazis had exploited the fact that the Dutch had the most sophisticated identity card system in the world.

Fry also discovers why this story has remained largely hidden to this day.
