The British Schindler
“In 1938, twenty-nine-year-old Sir Nicholas Winton was preparing to take a vacation when he received a call from a friend who told him that he was leaving for Prague and needed his help. (…) Winton decided to take action and by September 1939, he managed to arrange visas and admission to British families for nearly 700 Central European mostly Jewish children. (…) Fifty years later, his wife found a scrapbook full of documents and transport plans….
Joe Schlesinger, a CBC reporter and one of the rescued children, is the guide in the documentary who presents not only how Winton’s act changed his life, but also how it continues to influence the lives of thousands of others worldwide.”
