#nicholas_winton #hero #holocaust Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton (That’s Life - 1988) Sir Nicholas George Winton MBE (born Wertheim; 19 May 1909 – 1 July 2015) was a hero of the Holocaust. In 1938 he oversaw the Czech Kindertransport, which brought Jewish children from German-occupied Czechoslovakia to safety in the UK. He worked tirelessly to ensure money was raised and homes were found for the young refugees, but it was 50 years before the full story of his heroic efforts became public knowledge. In 1988, his wife discovered a scrapbook in the attic containing a mass of documents, including the names of the rescued children. The BBC programme That’s Life reunited him with just a few of the many hundreds of people he had rescued. Sir Nicholas was knighted in 2003, and died in 2015 at the age of 106.
