#nicholaswinton — Public Fediverse posts

Ein Film der sich für die Frage interessiert, wie Erinnerung funktioniert, wenn sie einmal nicht als Heldensaga, sondern als lebenslange Last erzählt wird. James Hawes’ Film setzt nicht auf Enthüllung oder Revision einer Geschichte, sondern auf eine leise, fast beharrliche Wiederholung. Leben retten, warten und schweigen. Und später erinnern müssen. Mit Sir Anthony Hopkins, Helena Bonham Carter und Lena Olin. (3Sat, Wh.)

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

One Life

#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"

Nicholas Winton war ein Londoner Börsenmakler, der 669 überwiegend jüdische Kinder aus Prag nach England evakuiert und ihnen so das Leben gerettet hat. Er selbst hat sich nie damit gebrüstet - hat sich im Gegenteil immer Vorwürfe gemacht, nicht alle KInder gerettet zu haben.

Dieses Video wurde 1988 von der BBC (THAT’S LIFE) ausgestrahlt. Es zeigt die berührende Begegnung vieler dieser inzwischen erwachsenen Kinder mit ihrem Retter.
Tränenalarm!

'#NicholasWinton saved my father from the #Nazis – here’s how #OneLife betrays him

The new film about the British #humanitarian who rescued 669 #Czech #Jewish #children sticks to a feelgood script, and misses the more compelling reality'
