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.
