Not suprisingly I have seen nothing about this man on here because he’s not some American hero or a hate crime against minority races
but this man died today and he was a British person who organised the rescue of 669 children destined for Nazi concentration camps. He arranged for trains to carry Jewish children out of occupied Prague.
He worked to find British families willing to put up £50 to look after the boys and girls in their homes.
Sir Nicholas was knighted by the Queen in March 2003. His work has been likened to that of the “saviour” of Jewish prisoners Oskar Schindler
Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis praised Sir Nicholas’ “exceptional courage, selflessness and modesty”.
“He lived to see thousands of descendants of those whose lives he saved who were proud to call themselves members of his family, and who were inspired by his example to undertake outstanding charitable, humanitarian and educational initiatives,“
today he passed away at the age of 106 in his sleep.
so RIP to a truly great hero
