Randy Schoenberg, Private User, Pam Karp Any advice how to find ancestral family tree information on Czech Kindertransport organizer, Nicholas Winton (Wertheim) the "British Schindler?

Terry Jackson (Switzer) Any British projects you can add Sir Nicholas Winton to?
Randy Schoenberg Super! Thanks so much.

Barbara was Babette (or Babi) Wortham or Wertheim

Malka Mysels I added him to two projects I can't think what others may be appropriate.

Sir Nicholas Winton rescued and found homes
for almost 700 Jewish children destined for a Nazi death camp. This clip takes place 50 years after the rescue.

This is how they thanked him :)

"Winton's work is the subject of three films by Slovak filmmaker Matej Mináč: the drama All My Loved Ones (1999),[39] in which Winton was played by Rupert Graves, the documentary The Power of Good: Nicholas Winton (Síla lidskosti—Nicholas Winton, 2002), which won an Emmy Award.[40] and the documentary drama Nicky's Family (Nickyho rodina, 2011)."

I haven't seen any of them, but I imagine they're all worth watching!

Wonder, how do people nominate people for a:
nobel peace prize laureate ?
This man deserves one, for sure ...
