Nicholas Winton, savior of 669 Jewish children, passes away at 106
Statesmen and Jewish leaders have praised Sir Nicholas Winton, the man known as the ‘British Oskar Schindler’ for saving 669 Jewish children from the Nazis in 1939, who passed away Wednesday at the age of 106.
Winton rescued the children in Czechoslovakia at the outbreak of World War II in 1939, organizing for British families to take them in instead of letting them be sent to Nazi concentration camps.
It is estimated some 6,000 people around the world have descended from the children whose escape from the Nazis Winton helped to mastermind.
Winton died exactly 76 years to the day that the biggest Kindertransport train left Prague, carrying 241 children he helped to save.
Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said: "The Jewish people and the State of Israel owe an eternal debt of gratitude to Nicholas Winton, who saved hundreds of Jewish children from the Nazis.
