The story of courage and determination by a young English stock exchange clerk who saved 669 Czechoslovakian Jewish children from almost certain death at the hands of the Nazis. Between March 13 and August 2, 1939, Nicolas Winton organized six trains to take children from Prague to new Jewish homes in Britain, and kept quiet about it until his wife discovered a scrapbook documenting his unique mission in 1988. This powerful documentary testifies to his courage and determination using rare archival footage, photographs, and interviews with some of the rescued.
