Sir Nicholas Winton pictured on his 105th birthday
The man referred to as the “British Schindler”, for his efforts in saving children from Nazi concentration camps has died at the age of 106.
In 1939, Sir Nicholas Winton masterminded the transportation of 669 children from Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia to Britain, saving them from the concentration camps.
Last year, he received the the Czech Republic’s highest honour, the Order of the White Lion, for giving Czech children “the greatest possible gift: the chance to live and to be free”.
