Holocaust defiance

When Adolf Hitler's troops marched into Czechoslovakia, the Jews found themselves on the Nazi hit list. Nicholas Winton, a young British stockbroker, went to Prague and moved by the plight of the children, came back and organized the rescue of the children. He saved 669 children. He hardly spoke of what he had done. Winton, who just turned 105, has managed to reunite with some of those children - now grown up and with children of their own.
