Sir Nicholas Winton

In 1988, Nicholas Winton appeared on the BBC TV show, “That’s Life,” unaware that the people in the audience were alive because of him.

In 1939, Winton was a young British stockbroker who saved the lives of 669 Jewish children during the Holocaust.

He never spoke of what he did and it remained a secret for 50 years until his wife discovered a scrapbook in the attic with the names, photos, and documents of the children he had saved.

Sir Nicholas Winton passed away in 2015 at the age of 106.
