Farewell Nicholas Winton

Recommended Posts

He passed away earlier today, aged 106. For those who don't know who he is, he's famous for saving 669, mostly Jewish children from Nazi occupied Czechoslovakia during WWII. He kept quiet about what he did for almost 50 years, until his wife stumbled across his scrapbooks that outlined the Kindertransport kids and the British folks who took them in. He was invited along to a 1988 taping of a British show called That's Life where this happened (this is the short version that's been all over the news):



RIP.
