This Man Saved 669 Children During The Holocaust And Has No Idea That Years Later They’re Sitting Next To Him, Watch His Reaction

In 1939, on the eve of World War II, a young British stockbroker called Nicholas Winton risked his life to successfully save 669 mostly Jewish children from Czechoslovakia during The Holocaust by ensuring their safe passage to Britain.

Fifty years later his wife found a scrapbook in the attic of their home that contained the names, pictures and documents of the children that he saved.

In 1988 he appeared on a UK television programme called That’s Life! and was totally unaware  that the people sitting around him in the audience were only alive because of his bravery and selflessness.

Sir Nicholas, who was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in 2003 and who received the Czech Order of the White Lion in 2014, died on July 1, 2015, aged 106.
