Sir Nicholas Winton was a hero of the Holocaust. In 1938, he was in charge of the Czech Kindertransport, which brought Jewish children from German-occupied Czechoslovakia to safety in the UK.

He worked tirelessly to raise funds and find homes for the young refugees, but it took 50 years for the full tale of his heroic efforts to reach public awareness.

In 1988, his wife found a scrapbook in the attic. It was full of papers, including the names of the children who had been saved.

The BBC show That’s Life reunited him with a few of the hundreds of people he had saved.

Sir Nicholas was knighted in 2003 and died at the age of 106 in 2015.
