He Saved 669 Children During The Holocaust… And He Doesn’t Know They’re Sitting Next To Him.

 

Sir Nicholas Winton is a humanitarian who organized a rescue operation that saved the lives of 669 Jewish Czechoslovakia children from Nazi death camps, and brought them to the safety of Great Britain between the years 1938-1939.

After the war, his efforts remained unknown. But in 1988, Winton’s wife Grete found the scrapbook from 1939 with the complete list of children’s names and photos. This is a clip of a video where Sir Nicholas Winton is sitting in an audience of Jewish Czechoslovakian people whom he saved 50 years before.

Thanks Bonnie. That helped make my day. I wasn't old enough to serve at the time Sir Winton made that effort for the Jewish people, but my later years serving, not in the front lines, enabled me to appreciate the horror that existed, of which my uncle wouldn't speak about after the war, having been held in a Japanese prison camp for three years.

 

God is Love! Jesus saves!

Great story, I believe this has been posted before, but never bad to see over and over

So moving it brought tears to my eyes.
