In 1939, Nicholas Winton helped organize the rescue of 669 children, most of them Jewish, from Czechoslovakia. Working with refugee workers and foster families, he helped turn paperwork, fundraising, and train journeys into a chance to survive.
Behind every number was a child—and a family making an impossible choice.
