Re: RIP: Sir Nicholas Winton
sad/ashamed to say I hadn't heard of him until saw it mentioned on facebook, so read a bbc article about him, so am now wondering, how come I had never heard of him!
Holocaust 'hero' Sir Nicholas Winton dies aged 106
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-33350880
apparently he was very modest but still, shocking his amazing acts are largely unknown

Re: RIP: Sir Nicholas Winton
Sir Nicholas died peacefully in his sleep. It is an end he deserved having helped saved the lives of so many children.
A compassionate man with a clear conscience. Rest Peacefully.

Re: RIP: Sir Nicholas Winton
At least he got the recognition he really deserved eventually.
RIP.

Re: RIP: Sir Nicholas Winton
I remember they did something along the lines of This is your life on him many years ago where he got to meet many of the children who were then adults.
