Tearful and inspiring. Sir Nicholas Winton was a 29-year old, British stockbroker when he canceled a ski vacation and joined a friend in Prague. That trip was the catalyst for the Czech Kindertransport, a nearly, single-handed operation by which Sir Winton saved hundreds of children from Nazi persecution. Although for the following 50 years, the children knew nothing about their rescuer. Compelling testimony from the "children" plus a dramatic reunion in Prague with Sir Winton at age 102 seals his legacy in history..

Introduction by George Spooner, who was on the Kindertransport from Vienna to England in 1938.
