Singing in this choir is still, and probably will always be, the greatest privilege I will ever have in my life. There has never been a braver hero than Nicholas Winton. I feel so incredibly privileged to have, as a child, contributed something small to this great man’s memorial service. Nick was so incredibly grateful, he gave every single chorister a hand-written letter thanking us personally.
Some people seem to live three lives in one lifetime and are true blessings to those who cross their paths. To you, Sir Nicolas Winton, I deeply bow my head.
I saw the program with Ester Ranzen life on BBC and saw that memorable moment when all those people stood up! I will never forget that moment. And Mr Winton stood there humble as ever….unforgetable!
I have only just recently discovered my paternal grandmother was an OTC... I only just met my biological father less than a month ago... She was adopted into a Catholic family in Tennessee. Sadly while she was raised in a loving family I don't think she ever was able to connect or get past the traumas that she endured as she was almost 11 when she came. Sadly her four children suffered the consequences of that trauma and in turn their children have suffered the consequences. I knew I was born in Memphis and that his family had come from there but I had no idea I was going to find an Ashkenazi Jewish connection... My adult children are being transformed with this knowledge and finding a deeper connection to God through exploring practicing Judaism. I am beyond blessed and grateful for their sacrifice... My prayer is to one day be able to speak their name again so that they will never be forgotten.
Thank you so very much for sharing this memorial service with us. I remember years ago, watching the British program, when Sir Nicholas was surprised to find the children, then adults , seated round about him in the studio audience, thanking him. How moving… now this video helps to fill in all the things I never knew about Sir Nicholas, like the fact that he liked opera. As an operatic tenor that really makes me feel even more proud about my chosen profession. Thank you again for sharing the wonderful, important life of this incredibly gracious individual. I also look forward to the film dramatization of his life.
Two brief points in relation to this incredible human being's story: a) As a son of Holocaust survivors, I've researched this subject a lot, and one thing I discovered was that many of the righteous men and women who saved Jews in the Holocaust ended up living to an extraordinarily ripe old age. b) What made him so unique, is that whereas most rescuers were approached by the people in danger, and simply could not ignore their desperate pleas, Winton initiated all this, and only after he got it rolling, did people start mobbing him.
I hope & pray that Nicholas Winton is studied in history books around the world, starting with the gathering of the “children” in their 70s & 80s at the auditorium where they surprised Nicholas Winton. If you have a grandparent or great grandparent who came from Great Britain they might be one of the children rescued by Nicholas Winton.
A good man. One of the few for whom it can be said; he exemplifies Burke's maxim. In his letter to Thomas Mercer, Edmond Burke says, “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. When bad men combine, the good must too; else they will fall, one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle.” Thank you sir. Thank you.
He has been a discreet and essential man for humanity. He has been a discreet and essential man for humanity. Twelve I don't like are from twelve sons of supremacists who haven't learned anything ... From Andalusia may he rest forever in peace. From Andalusia may he rest forever in peace.
Desde Honduras me uno en este memorial de un gran ser humano he leído y visto mucho de él el Dios de Israel Bendiga su descendientes este hombre nació como luz para muchos gracias por mostrarnos que si podemos ser mejores
A wonderfull man, a true Christian working alone when so many Nations turned their backs on the plight of the Jewish nation. Shame on America who had the space and the money,and did nothing.Refusing to help. They only entered the War in Europe ,because Japan bombed Pearl Harbour.!! Denise Kilner.
A true hero! Too few good men we know of maybe because true heroes never tell of their heroic deeds. May you unknown heroes live to eventually receive your well deserved gratitude and a long well lived life like Sir Winton.
I saw a small clip on Instagram and it interested me so I looked him up on RUclips and here I am , I'm surprised I haven't came across his story before . What a beautiful human .. and such a lovely story .. Has this story inspired a movie ? If not what a great idea , so many WW2 stories and movie inspirations are about bad people and the things they've done .
respect for sir nicholas winton rip good man 669 childeren saved by youre actions in war god bless you and rest in peace. forever you will never forgotten many jewish are thankfull what jou did for them
The bible Hebrews 13 - 1, let your brotherly love continue. Hebrews 13-2 do not forget hospitality, for through it some , Unknown to themselves, entertained angels. The angels take notice of good people If you see a homeless in or someone in need take give him Something a sandwich or a bottle water in very hot day's .he Will look at you and say thank you!
Priti patel would have prosecuted such a great man, under her nasty asylum laws, which would prosecute anyone who assisted those they knew to be refugees, sir nick knew he forged papers and moved heaven and earth to do this. Patel would do well to aqaint herself with his legacy.
Matthew 6 - Giving to the Needy 1“Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven. 2“So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 3But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

For his extraordinary achievements, SIR NICHOLAS WINTON (1909-2015) was rewarded by God with a long, long life: 106 years! - Dear Nicky, R.I.P.

A man who had the heart of a lion for the salvation of those little children! God bless your memory Sir Nicholas Winton!

Why the hell wasn't Prince Charles at this memorial service?
Diane Crow I hope he was told he would not be welcome
Matthew 6 - Giving to the Needy
1“Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.
2“So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 3But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
