One Life: The True Story of Sir Nicholas Winton and the Prague Kindertransport - Barbara Winton

Sir Nicholas Winton rescued 669 Jewish children from Nazi occupied Czechoslovakia at the brink of World War II. Most never saw their parents again. This is his story. \n*Now a major motion picture starring Sir Anthony Hopkins and Helena Bonham Carter* \n \nIn 1938, 29-year-old Nicky cancelled a ski trip and instead spent nine months masterminding a seemingly impossible plan to rescue hundreds of Jewish children and find them homes in the United Kingdom. Over 6,000 people are alive today because of his efforts. \n \n What motivated an ordinary man to do something so extraordinary? This book, written by his daughter, Barbara, explores the 106-year life of an incredible humanitarian, a man whose legacy only came to public light decades later. \n \n His life story is a clarion call to choose action over apathy in the face of injustice, and a reminder that every one of us can change the world. \n \n If something is not impossible, then there must be a way to do it.\n
