"Nicholas Winton saved nearly 700 children from Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia. His heroics were only revealed decades later. The rescue effort is now popularly known as the Prague Kindertransport, and Nicholas Winton, its chief architect, is often called the British Schindler. After helping to organize the Prague Kindertransport in 1938-39, he devoted decades to working on behalf of families whose children have Down syndrome. The biography--which inspired a recent feature film starring Anthony Hopkins and Helena Bonham Carter--derives its title from the Talmudic saying: 'Who saves one life saves the world.' It is more than apt."--The Wall Street Journal

"His daughter, Barbara Win­ton shares inti­mate details about her father's pre­war life, post­war work, and fam­i­ly rela­tions.

But per­haps the most impor­tant recog­ni­tion he received is the knowl­edge that by sav­ing one life, he saved the world entire."--Jewish Book Council
