Took a moment yesterday and dust and fix my treasures. Things and books and moments I find inspiring sit upon this large shelved piece that used to be my grandmothers. I remember how she’d carefully display her collection of old music boxes on it 🖤🥀
Sir Nicholas Winton is a humanitarian who organized a rescue operation that saved the lives of 669 Jewish Czechoslovakia children from Nazi death camps, and brought them to the safety of Great Britain between the years 1938-1939.
After the war, his efforts remained unknown. But in 1988, Winton’s wife Grete found the scrapbook from 1939 with the complete list of children’s names and photos. Sir Nicholas Winton is sitting in an audience of Jewish Czechoslovakian people who he saved 50 years before.
