Description
Sir Nicholas Winton's incredible story is one of courage, compassion and determination. In 1938, at the age of 29, he cancelled a ski holiday to mastermind a plan to rescue hundreds of Jewish children from Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia. This remarkable feat, which took nine months to plan and execute, saved the lives of 669 children who were later adopted by British families. The book, written by his daughter Barbara, explores Sir Nicholas's remarkable life and the events that led him to take such a bold action. It is a testament to the power of ordinary people to make a difference in extraordinary circumstances. Today, the legacy of Sir Nicholas Winton lives on, inspiring us all to act when we see injustice or need, and to strive to make the world a better place.
