Nicky & Vera: A Quiet Hero of the Holocaust and the Children He Rescued
FROM THE PUBLISHER
In the frantic spring and summer of 1939, as the Nazi shadow fell over Europe, Nicholas Winton raised money, found foster families in England, arranged travel and visas, and, when necessary, bribed officials and forged documents, organizing the transportation of almost 700 children to safety.
It was only fifty years later that a chance discovery and a famous television appearance brought Winton’s actions to light.
