A young British stockbroker finds himself in Prague at the onset of the German invasion. Spurred into action by the plight of the Jews, Nicholas Winton organizes an ad-hoc operation that saves 669 Jewish children by transporting them to England. Winton, now 102 years old, did not speak about these events with anyone for more than half a century. Dozens of his “children” have been found, and their families have grown to almost 6000 people.
