## Bio

Born in 1909 to German-Jewish parents who had settled in Britain, Nicholas Winton was working as a stockbroker when a brief trip to Czechoslovakia in late 1938 showed him refugee children whose families had fled Nazi persecution. He compiled a list of 669 at risk, then returned to London to navigate the bureaucracy: legal paperwork, British sponsors, foster homes. The operation that became the Czech Kindertransport succeeded on the eve of war, and Winton went quiet about it for fifty years. In 1988 the BBC's "That's Life!" reunited him with dozens of those former children and their descendants; the press called him the "British Schindler." Queen Elizabeth knighted him in 2003 for services to humanity, and in 2014 the Czech Republic awarded him the Order of the White Lion. He died in 2015 at 106.
