Schindler of U.K. Nicholas Winton Dead at 106

Yes, I know that I already wrote a blog entry on this a couple of days ago.

However, I just thought that this was an amazing story, and so decided to write a piece on it for the Guardian Liberty Voice.

They changed the title, however. It was supposed to be something different than this.

Still, it is a decent article, and I do hope that you take a look at it. Also, if you enjoy the subject matter, the inspirational story of Sir Nicholas Winton, then please take a look at the New York Times piece on him, which is fairly long, but remarkably detailed with history and personal stories, and gives a very complete picture (at least as much as a newspaper article will allow, in any case).

Here is the link to that story, with a video clip from when the man was honored that might just bring tears to your eyes:

Mr. Winton died yesterday, at the age of 106. His work to save hundreds of otherwise doomed Jewish children from Nazi Germany is not forgotten, and we mourn the passing of such a great man today.
