Nicholas Winton and Jewish Children

Britain Schindler: The country was in danger and no one was saving its Jewish children, according to The Chronicle Herald. Winton would almost single-handedly save more than 650 Jewish children from the Holocaust, earning himself the label Britain Schindler. Traveling with a friend to Czechoslovakia in 1938, as the drums of impending war echoed around Europe, Nicholas Winton was hit by a key realization. He died Wednesday at age 106 in a hospital near Maidenhead, his hometown west of London, his family said. To top it all off, he then kept quiet about his exploits for a half-century. Winton arranged trains to carry children from Nazi-occupied Prague to Britain, battling bureaucracy at both ends and saving them from almost certain death. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
