... So terribly, terribly touching ...

Sir Nicholas Winton - BBC Programme "That's Life" aired in 1988

Sir Nicholas Winton rescued and found homes for almost 700 Jewish children destined for a Nazi death camp. This clip takes place 50 years after the rescue.



Apparently, this gentleman is still alive, and will be celebrating his 104th birthday this May.

Perhaps some of us will be inspired to "stick our neck out" for someone getting the shaft unfairly, and do something that improves his/her plight. Thanks for sharing this touching clip, I'm ready...
