Today I learned for the first time that there was a phenomenal human being by the name of Nicholas Winton. This
man was the humanitarian who organized the rescue of 669 children,
found them homes and arranged for them to travel safely to Britain on
the eve of WWII. He was only 29 at the time. I think this is a beautiful example of facing fears for the sake of humanity. He had to have been afraid of being caught, of failing, of the severe punishments that he and his family would have had to face... it didn't hold him back. In this video the host surprised him with the children he
rescued sitting in the crowd with him, he had no idea they were there until the host asked anyone who owed their life to him to stand. His eyes teared up, and so did mine. <3 He will live on forever, because although he can't live forever he created something that will. What a wonderful example to follow. Thank you, Sir Nicolas.
Why didn't I learn about this in school?
What a wonderful man, today I am grateful to have discovered him. He is still alive, at 103 years old and the day after my birthday he will be 104. May 19, 1909.
Mrs. Miroslava
Nemcova - head of the Czech Parliament submitted official
submission for Nicholas Winton to receive a Nobel Prize. We would like to get this accomplished as soon as possible so Nicholas Winton can be alive to see this recognition of his courage. Please join us and sign the internet
petition for Nicky to get the Nobel Prize, and ask your friends to do the same.
PLEA FROM MATEJ MINAC, DIRECTOR OF POWER OF GOOD AND NICKY´S FAMILY about Sir Nicholas Winton:
I turn to you because wonderful activity has been launched by students in the Czech Republic - Open Gate School. Students are deeply persuaded that Sir Nicholas Winton should get the Nobel Peace Prize. Therefore they started their petition to award finally Nicky the prize this year. They want to do petition worldwide and they believe that the impact of this huge international petition campaign should help to persuade the Nobel Peace Committe in Oslo to consider Nicky Winton as one of the possible winners. They prepare plenty of activities to stimulate it. US distributor of the film NICKY´S FAMILY Menemsha Films also joined this activity. They have collected more 7000 supporters of the petition through internet. There has been collected more than 180 000 signatures worldwide so far. We deeply believe that Nicky Winton deserves it and we can´t wait much longer. He is already 103 years old. Mrs. Miroslava Nemcova - head of the Czech Parliament already submitted official submission for award. If you help us and join us and sign the internet petition for Nicky to get the Nobel prize, IT CAN MEAN TERRIBLY A LOT. And ask your friends to do the same.
