It is not always true that the good die young. Sir Nicholas Winton, a British man who helped save hundreds of Jewish children
from the Holocaust during World War II, has died at the age of 106. His work has been compared
to that of Oskar Schindler, a German who saved 1,200 Jews by employing them in his factories
in Poland and Czechoslovakia. What Winton did was to rescue 669 mostly Jewish children in Czechoslovakia
from the Nazis in the months before the Second World War broke out. Winton was a London businessman
in December 1938 when he arranged trains to help the children flee Nazi occupation and found
British families to look after them. This was a good deed Winton performed secretly, and it was
not generally known about for nearly 50 years until revealed on the BBC’s That’s Life! TV program. Winton did not particularly like being called "the British Schindler". He had kept
quiet about his deed. The British Prime Minister remembered Winton on Twitter, writing, "The
world has lost a great man. We must never forget Sir Nicholas Winton’s humanity in saving so
many children from the Holocaust."
