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.

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.

I love how he turns to his wife for a moment, knowing it had to be her... all the feels!

I know this is messed up but am I the only one who kind wishes the number was 666 instead just to fuck with people?
bluesheep1483
So 3 of them will die!? Fuck you then

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.
yourmomisminenow
although it's cute looking at it that way, if I were to live more than 90 years I'd honestly kms.
ShockHerman
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)
KingFishEcho
Ha.. 69.

There is his statue on the first platform in the main train station in Prague from where he sent the trains. Every day there are flowers. :)

So what you are saying is he helped bring persecuted, refugees from a dangerous country to the west? What a great humanitarian.

Oh yeah, I remember when Anne Frank tortured and killed entire families, making each of them watch as she slit throats and (1/2)

(2/2) made fathers eat their own testicles in front of their daughters, before gutting the daughter and leaving her to bleed. Oh, wait.

So you're gonna tell me it's an alternative fact that muslims have done that to France citizens, right? We're comparing muslims to jews here
DespiseEveryone
Good point. Now go and vilify the man who sent refugees back to their death. Roosevelt.Go ahead, tell everyone how vile refusing refugees is
PeopleSeemToHaveLongNamesOnImgur
Roosevelt, the guy who created Japanese Internment camps?
