Wednesday's Hero

This post was suggested by Sarah



Sir Nicholas George Winton
104 years old from Hampstead, London

Wednesday Hero was started to honor the men and women of the United States military, but this week we're doing something a little different. Sir Nicholas George Winton is a British humanitarian who will turn 105 this May. On the eve of WWII, Winston was instrumental in the rescue of 669 children, mostly Jewish, from Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia. Sadly, many of the children he saved lost their parents in concentration camps.

Those Who Say That We're In A Time When There Are No Heroes, They Just Don't Know Where To Look.

The mouse can’t really catch a break — and it was all caught on film.
