The Story of Sir Nicholas Winton

Nicholas Winton was a British humanitarian who organized the rescue of 669 children, most of them Jewish, from Czechoslovakia on the eve of the Second World War in an operation later known as the Czech Kindertransport (German for "children's transport").
Dubbed by the British press the "British Schindler," Winton found homes for the children and arranged for their safe passage to Britain.
The world only found out about his work over 50 years later, in 1988.

He lived to the age of 106, it's almost as if he was given a little extra time to live for each life he helped save.

[@Dildor-ThePenetrator]

I was already welling up, but you just had to say that and make me choke...

[@SAM57119]

My thought exactly.

[@missmeganite]

He did more than just save the children, he rescued the lineage of generations.

[@voidrunnr8994]

He listened to his mother, as they say "dont mention the good things you do for complete strangers, it makes you feel better when you keep them to yourself"

And The Lord will Exalt you in time. The Bible

[@leenieledejo6849]

Well his parents became Christians and she obviously got it from the words of Jesus (see below). It's human nature to want credit and applause for our good actions but Jesus, who served and walked in humility, in the revolutionary Sermon on the Mount, speaks about the nature of GOD, which is what born again Christians become conformed to (i.e they get a NEW "nature": 2 Corinthians 5:17), by the power of the Holy Spirit. "Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven. So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you" (Matthew 6:1-4)

Good man. Amazing man. The story and his reaction to all of the survivors standing up put a tear in my eye. And the fact that he didn't boast about it for 50 long years just shows the class of the man. He helped the kids without any selfish reason. Lots of love from Pakistan 🇵🇰

In two weeks time he saved hundreds of lives, he could do nothing and let it pass like millions of others did but he did what international leaders didn't and never would do, great that his exemplary deeds got exposed while he was still live and he deservedly got showered with so much love and respect which was long due.

This is what I call a true hero. He never boast about what he has done for others during the war. Kept it in his archive. Reached the age of 106 years was a blessing well deserved and also to see what he has done and meant for others without realizing the impact. And by saving all these children back then, he gave birth to new generations. Bravo, my kind of hero❤
