Reviews
Nicholas Winton saved nearly 700 children from Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia. His heroics were only revealed decades later. The rescue effort is now popularly known as the Prague Kindertransport, and Nicholas Winton, its chief architect, is often called the British Schindler. After helping to organize the Prague Kindertransport in 1938-39, he devoted decades to working on behalf of families whose children have Down syndrome. The biography--which inspired a recent feature film starring Anthony Hopkins and Helena Bonham Carter--derives its title from the Talmudic saying: 'Who saves one life saves the world.' It is more than apt., His daughter, Barbara Win­ton shares inti­mate details about her father's pre­war life, post­war work, and fam­i­ly rela­tions. Nicky, who died at 106, received many hon­ors, includ­ing knight­hood from the same gov­ern­ment that had spurned his urgent pleas to res­cue the chil­dren when they most need­ed it. But per­haps the most impor­tant recog­ni­tion he received is the knowl­edge that by sav­ing one life, he saved the world entire., Those of us who came on a Kindertransport from Prague and owe our lives to Nicky will be so grateful to Barbara for writing something so special.

Synopsis
Sir Nicholas Winton rescued 669 Jewish children from Nazi occupied Czechoslovakia at the brink of World War II. Most never saw their parents again. This is his story. *Now a major motion picture starring Sir Anthony Hopkins and Helena Bonham Carter* In 1938, 29-year-old "Nicky" cancelled a ski trip and instead spent nine months masterminding a seemingly impossible plan to rescue hundreds of Jewish children and find them homes in the United Kingdom. Over 6,000 people are alive today because of his efforts. What motivated an ordinary man to do something so extraordinary? This book, written by his daughter, Barbara, explores the 106-year life of an incredible humanitarian, a man whose legacy only came to public light decades later. His life story is a clarion call to choose action over apathy in the face of injustice, and a reminder that every one of us can change the world. "If something is not impossible, then there must be a way to do it."
