On the eve of the Second World War, Nicholas Winton, Londoner, 29 years old, stockbroker, sensing the threat of the invasion of Hitler’s Germany, organized a rescue plan, known as “Operation Kindertransport” for hundreds of children, many of religious origin Jewish, before the start of the conflict.
