  • Nicholas Winton was a British humanitarian who organized the rescue of 669 children, most of them Jewish, from Czechoslovakia on the eve of the Second World War in an operation later known as the Czech Kindertransport (German for "children's transport").
    Dubbed by the British press the "British Schindler," Winton found homes for the children and arranged for their safe passage to Britain.
    The world only found out about his work over 50 years later, in 1988.

    Good man. Amazing man. The story and his reaction to all of the survivors standing up put a tear in my eye. And the fact that he didn't boast about it for 50 long years just shows the class of the man. He helped the kids without any selfish reason. Lots of love from Pakistan 🇵🇰
