Sir Nicholas Winton Dies at 106

Sir Nicholas Winton, the savior or hundreds of Jewish children during WWII has passed away:

For those who say one person can't make much of a difference, his life was a sharp rebuttal. Sir Winton may have had a Knighthood; he deserved sainthood...

Watched a news report on this great man and was shocked to learn that despite organising eight successful train loads of children, a ninth was intercepted and all those onboard disappeared.

RIP Sir
