Sculpture of artist imprisoned by the Nazis during WWII is repaired by TV expert

A broken sculpture of a woman who became a Second World War prisoner after being caught trying to flee the Nazis, is restored to its former beauty on tonight’s The Repair Shop.

In the emotional scenes on the BBC One hit presented by Jay Blades, 73-year-old Martin Jochman brings in the smashed artwork, a precious connection to his artist mother and his childhood in what was then Czechoslovakia.
