Nicholas Winton and the Rescued Generation
"For half a century these children, now dispersed and in their sixties and seventies, were unaware of the person to whom they owed their lives. To Winton, it was 'just a job'. Even his wife knew nothing of what is undoubtably his greatest achievement, until 1988, when clearing out the attic she came across documentation relating to the episode. From that moment, Winton's life was never the same again.".

**The Rescued Generation: When Humanity Prevailed** is the story of the Kindertransport, a rescue operation that saved 669 Jewish children from Nazi-occupied Europe. In December 1938, Nicholas Winton, a British stockbroker, was sent to Czechoslovakia to help refugees fleeing the Nazis. He was shocked by the plight of the children he saw and determined to do something to help them. Winton worked tirelessly to find homes for the children and to arrange for their transport to the UK. He was assisted by a group of volunteers, including social workers, teachers, and members of the British government. The first Kindertransport train arrived in London on December 1, 1938. In the months that followed, eight trains brought a total of 669 children to the UK. The children were placed in foster homes or hostels, and they were given the opportunity to continue their education. The Kindertransport was a remarkable achievement. It saved the lives of thousands of children and gave them the chance to build new lives in a safe and welcoming country. The children who were saved by the Kindertransport went on to make significant contributions to their adopted country. They became doctors, lawyers, teachers, and artists. They raised families and helped to build a better world. **The Rescued Generation** is a story of hope and courage in the face of unimaginable darkness. It is a story of the power of human compassion and the importance of standing up for what is right. It is a story that should be told and retold for generations to come. **The Rescued Generation** is more than just a story of the past. It is a story that has relevance for today. In a world where children are still suffering from war and persecution, the Kindertransport is a reminder of the importance of protecting children and giving them the chance to build a better future.
