One Life: The True Story of Sir Nicholas Winton and the Prague Kindertransport - Barbara Winton

Sir Nicholas Winton rescued 669 Jewish children from Nazi occupied Czechoslovakia at the brink of World War II. Most never saw their parents again. This is his story. n*Now a major motion picture starring Sir Anthony Hopkins and Helena Bonham Carter* n nIn 1938, 29-year-old Nicky cancelled a ski trip and instead spent nine months masterminding a seemingly impossible plan to rescue hundreds of Jewish children and find them homes in the United Kingdom. Over 6,000 people are alive today because of his efforts. n n What motivated an ordinary man to do something so extraordinary? This book, written by his daughter, Barbara, explores the 106-year life of an incredible humanitarian, a man whose legacy only came to public light decades later. n n His life story is a clarion call to choose action over apathy in the face of injustice, and a reminder that every one of us can change the world. n n If something is not impossible, then there must be a way to do it.n
