• Description: Winner of the 2002 International Emmy Award, this documentary tells the story of Sir Nicholas George Winton MBE who, in 1939, saved the lives of 669 children, most of them Jewish, from Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia by bringing them across Hitler's Germany to his native Britain. For nearly 50 years Winton did not tell anyone about his extraordinary rescue mission - not even his wife, who found out about her husband's involvement after finding a scrapbook in the couple's attic. The story surfaced among the public in 1988, when the BBC broadcast a show about the first meeting of approximately 100 of the rescued children with their 'secret' rescuer. Today, there are more than 5,000 descendants of the Winton children - and all of them owe their lives to this gentle, unassuming hero, still residing in England.
