A wonderful tribute to a true humanitarian.

Sir Nicholas Winton was only 2 years older than me when he saved the lives of hundreds of Jewish children via the kindertransport.

The kindertransport saved the life of my grandmother Thea who escaped from Vienna. https://twitter.com/WesselyS/status/1262663165831151617
Prague's railway station has a moving statue of Sir Nicholas.

You can see a statue to this extraordinary act at London's Liverpool Street, where the children arrived in Britain.

I've previously shared my grandmother's kindertansport story in this thread https://twitter.com/alexjrich/status/1221793854866804737
