Sir Nicholas Winton is the mastermind behind the humanitarian rescue operation that ended up saving 669 Jewish Czechoslovakian children from certain death in Nazi concentration camps.

He managed to bring all of them to safety to start a new life in Great Britain between 1938 and 1939.

What he did was kept a secret after the war until 1988 when his wife found a scrapbook from 1939 that held the list of children's names and photographs. The clip is a heartwarming, tear-jerking video of a commendable man who is a humanitarian first and foremost. Watch as he finds out that he's surrounded by the very children he had saved, years before.

WHO'S SLICING FUCKING ONIONS!!?!

I think you might need to get that checked by a doctor. And while you're at it, be sure to get a perscription for tissues and a teddy bear.

Imagine how he felt seeing all those kids again, but now they're all adults. They got to grow up because of him. Amazing and beautiful.

It's weird to think that in the not too far future, we will have noone left who fought or experienced the second world war.

And to think he survived to the age of 106. The man deserved a long life after preserving the lives of so many.

although it's cute looking at it that way, if I were to live more than 90 years I'd honestly kms.

Maybe he took 5 years off their lives in exchange for them getting to live it longer? (As in not die young in a concentration camp)
