Title: "The World Has Lost A Great Man' Post by: ER on July 01, 2015, 01:31:14 PM 'British Schindler' Sir Nicholas Winton dies aged 106
http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-33350880 (http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-33350880) I've always thought it a shame that so few people seem to know Mr. Winton's story. His actions seventy-five years ago really do show the best side of human nature: courage, kindness, selflessness, altruism.
