==Early life==
Born in 1929 in Czechoslovakia, Ernest Hecht arrived in Britain as a Kindertransport child in 1939; he recalls: “On the train to England as a young man, I remember throwing up on one of the Gestapo. My mother must have been terrified but the man said it was ok because he had children of his own.”〔 He was evacuated to Wiltshire, then to Minehead, Somerset. He read Economics and Commerce at Hull University College.
