Man Who Saved 669 Children During The Holocaust Has No Idea They’re Around Him, Watch His Reaction

In 1939, on the eve of World War II, a young British stockbroker called Nicholas Winton did something truly incredible. He risked his life to successfully save 669 mostly Jewish children from Czechoslovakia during The Jewish Holocaust by ensuring their safe passage to Britain. And then, like a real hero, he never spoke of it again until fifty years later when his wife found a scrapbook in the attic of their home that contained the names, pictures, and documents of the Holocaust victims that he saved.
Sir Nicholas, who was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in 2003 and who received the Czech Order of the White Lion in 2014, died on July 1, 2015, aged 106. Dubbed the “British Schindler” by the British press, he appeared on a UK television program called That’s Life! in 1988. He was invited as a member of the audience, totally unaware that the people sitting around him were only alive because of his bravery and selflessness. Watch the heartwarming video below to see the moment he finally realized. Get your handkerchief ready for this happy reunion…(h/t: justsomething)

I got goosebumps when everyone stood up. Incredible!
I was going to say the same thing LOL
Me too this is soo amazing ......after doing such an heroic thing never to speak about it again.....am in tears
me too
The world needs more people like him. Now more than in the last 70 years
hopefully not, if you know what I mean
Amen to that! Oy vey!
@ Jevais, he means he hopes there are no more wars so people don't need saving like this!!
*Holocaust. Stupid autocorrect
@jevais because of the Holocaust? Without the golocause they wouldn't have needed saving.
What do you mean? Hopefully not?
You never know, some good people are already secretly saving hundreds of Syrians but we won't know it until 50 years later. In some cases, these good acts cannot be publicised because some bad people could jeopardise the process. So, I guess we'll just hope and pray that these good acts still exist today.
I never said there are no good people left. As you said, you just don't see them because they are working their good things in secret. And I am very grateful to each and everyone who does help. I'm sure you are too :)
