Description

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Sir Nicholas George Winton, MBE (born 19 May 1909) is a Briton who organised the rescue of 669 mostly Jewish children from German-occupied Czechoslovakia on the eve of World War II in an operation later known as the Czech Kindertransport. Winton found homes for them and arranged for their safe passage to Britain. Nicholas Winton was born to parents of German-Jewish origin. In 1907, the family moved from Germany to Hampstead, England, and changed its name from Wertheim to Winton. In 1923, he transferred to Stowe School, which had just opened. He left without matriculating, attending night school while volunteering at the Military Bank. Some time later he left for Hamburg where he began to work at Behrens Bank, and then for Wasserman Bank in Berlin.
