British Schindler' Sir Nicholas Winton dies

de bene esse: literally, of well-being, morally acceptable but subject to future validation or exception

"Sir Nicholas Winton, who became known as 'the British Oskar Schindler' after saving hundreds of Jewish children from Nazi tyranny and slaughter in Czechoslovakia, has died aged 106, his family said.

The unassuming hero, who saved the lives of 669 children in 1939 by sending them from Prague to London by train, died peacefully in his sleep at Wrexham Park hospital in Slough, his son-in-law, Stephen Watson, said."


In a video, Nicholas Winton called a surprise reunion with dozens of children that he had saved from the Nazis “the most emotional moment of my life.”
