Nicholas Winton, “The British Schindler” – a man who, singlehandedly, saved over 650 Jewish children from the nazi holocaust – has died at the remarkable age of 106.
You can read all about how he was able to do so by reading Naomi Koppel\’s article in the Minneapolis Star-Tribune.
If you do, you\’ll find that Mr. Winton became aware that some of his fellow Britons were working to get Czechoslavakian Jews out of the country before the nazis took over, no one was making provisions for the children. So he singlehandedly convinced the British authorities to accept the children as long as foster homes were found…which he also took upon himself to do.
Because of Nicholas Winton, hundreds and hundreds of Jewish children were spared certain death at the hands of hitler\’s minions. His is a story of amazing dedication and selfless humanitarianism which should not, and cannot, go unnoticed.
Thank you Mr. Winton. Thank you, sir, for what you did.
May you rest in peace.
