    #SirNicholasWinton helped rescue 669 children, mostly Jewish, whose families had fled persecution by Nazi Germany. On a brief visit to Czechoslovakia, he helped compile a list of children in danger + returning to Britain, he worked to fulfill legal + monetary requirements for bringing the children to Britain thus enabling the #CzechKindertransport. Winton acknowledges the vital roles of those who remained in Prague, like #TrevorChadwick, who "dealt with all the considerable problems at the Prague end + this work he continued to carry on even when it became difficult + dangerous when the Germans arrived.". The 9th + largest transport of 250 children was stopped at the last minute, canceled because Germany invaded Poland on September 1, 1939. Those children were removed from the train + returned to their families.
    Winton kept his humanitarian accomplishments to himself until 1988 when his wife found his detailed scrapbook in their attic. The book was given to #ElisabethMaxwell, a Holocaust researcher who was able to locate many of #Wintonschildren. He was invited to the TV program #ThatsLife!, where host #EstherRantzen reunited him with some of those he had helped, as well as their families. Winton was knighted in 2003 + in 2025 a #film of his story was released starring #AnthonyHopkins #JohnnyFlynn + #HelenaBonhamCarter titled #OneLife - a reference to a line from the Talmud: "Whoever saves one life saves the world entire"

    Und die obige Studie versucht #Kindertransport mit #Fahrrädern zu verdammen bei 222 verletzten Kindern insgesamt und ruft nach dem Gesetzgeber! Komplett Gaga, reine Kampagne.

  9. 🆕 One Life review: an ordinary hero | Ann Moody

    One Life (released January 2024) tells the story of British stockbroker and humanitarian Nicholas Winton, who brought hundreds of children from Central European to safety in the UK on the eve of WW2.

  10. Speaking of moral lessons from the Holocaust for today, see the below compassionate and moral proposal from #AlfDubs, who as a Czech Jewish boy was saved from it by the #Kindertransport.

    I’ve said before that the Kindertransport shames us by its limited scope, a result of antisemitism, condemning the children’s parents to Nazi concentration camps. Fortunately Dubs’ Jewish father and non-Jewish mother managed to get out separately, although he lost other family members.

  11. #HolocaustMemorialDay  commemoration today at the #kindertransport memorial by sculptor @wolter_ian on Harwich quay. Some of the depicted children look back, recalling those left behind. @HMD_UK @KT_memorial #HMD2023 

  12. As the #NewYear comes around again, I shall be thinking of my #OnTime characters, who over New Year 2026, send a #TimeTraveller to 1939 in the hope that he can ensure a little girl boards the last #KinderTransport to leave Prague, in order to protect the integrity of the timeline. And trying to make some more headway on the next instalment of their adventures! #books #bookstodon #authors #Fiction #SciFi #History #HistoricalFiction
