Holocaust hero Nicholas Winton on That’s Life
YouTube ^ | May 19, 2020 | That’s Life via Johnny Revolver

Nicholas Winton was a British banker and humanitarian who established an organisation to rescue children at risk from Nazi Germany. Born to German-Jewish parents who had emigrated to Britain at the beginning of the 20th century, Winton supervised the rescue of 669 children, most of them Jewish, from Czechoslovakia on the eve of World War II. *snip* His work went unnoticed by the world for nearly 50 years, until 1988 when he was invited to the BBC television programme That's Life!, where he was reunited with several of the children he had saved.

George Soros stated on 60 Minutes he turned in over 100 Jewish people to the nazi’s to their deaths just so he could sell their belongings. He controls the democrat party.

You’re welcome! I came across Nicholas Winton‘s story quite by accident, and thought it was worth sharing. By the way, I hope you watched that YouTube video until the end. There was a pleasant surprise there for Mr. Winton.

Hi.

“George Soros stated on 60 Minutes he turned in over 100 Jewish people to the nazi’s to their deaths just so he could sell their belongings.

He said it without remorse or shame.

My husband and I saw the clip from this program several years ago- brought tears to both of our eyes.
