What a guy. He didn’t even mention what he’d done afterwards. Talk about doing the right thing for the sake of doing the right thing rather than some celebrity or reward. We need more like him today.

Winton considered the rescue project so natural that he never bothered to mention it, even to his wife Grete. His activity came to light only 50 years later, when she was looking for something in the attic of their home and found an old suitcase with a scrapbook from the war years that included a list of the 669 rescued children.

Sir Nicholas Winton celebrated his 100th birthday in May.

Don’t tell any liberal he was a stockbroker. Their heads will explode.

Great Story! Thanks for posting. How the world would be such a different place if everyone acted like Winton!

A great legacy: 5000 people—to date—owe him their lives.
