Many of the 100 or so guests who were at the Czech embassy in London to celebrate the birthday of Sir Nicholas Winton in May are the offspring of 669 children – mostly Jewish – rescued by Winton from almost certain death in the months before the second world war broke out in 1939. Read more here about this quiet, not well-known hero.
Wonderful to see those survivors of WWII. I too was a child in WWII in England and my husband in Nazi Germany. We share our stories of growing up during the war in my memoir ‘Up The Wooden Hill -The Tale of Two WWII Families’. Look at my website for information and videos. Jill Schaefer
