Sir Nicholas story has much in common with Oskar Schindlers. which has been celebrated in both print and film. In 1938. Nicholas. a British subject. traveled to Prague. where he was haunted by the impression of refugee camps which were newly constructed there. This experience motivated him to tirelessly lobby the British Government in attempts to secure visas for Czechoslovakian Jewish refugee children. Wintons efforts enabled the safe escape to Britain of almost 700 kids who surely would have perished without his intervention. Sir Nicholas mission was even more challenging. as it required that he first find a foster family to accept each child before they would be accepted into the country.
