Sir Nicholas Winton was going on a skiing holiday to Switzerland when he heard about world war 2 . He then decided not to go on holiday but go to Prague to see what help he could give. He helped and escorted 669 children away from the trouble and into friendly countries where they were put in foster homes. He then came back to Britain and argued against the war but as the war kept going on he joined the RAF. He never spoke about the children until his wife Greta found a scrapbook in the attic and wrote to Esther Rantzan on That's Life TV programme. He was invited in as an audience member unaware of what would happen. In the show Esther told everyone the amazing story and asked the audience who owed there lives to Nicholas Winton, at which point dozens of people stood up around him and clapped. He has been awarded many awards in his honour and he has a train and statue named after him.
