Sir Nicholas Winton

Nicholas Winton is known for organising the rescue of 669 Czech children from Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia during the 9 months before war broke out in
1939. The story became known to the public in 1988 when it featured on That’s Life, a BBC TV programme hosted by Esther Rantzen. In 2003 he was
knighted by Queen Elizabeth II for Services to Humanity for this work. There are many websites which tell this story in detail.
