Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Barbara Winton (1953-2022) was the daughter of Sir Nicholas Winton and was dedicated to promoting her father's legacy. Since the book's original release, she gave talks about Sir Nicholas to many varied audiences in the UK, USA and the Czech Republic. The aim was to tell his story as an example of positive action and to spread his message that helping those in need is not only the right thing to do but a most rewarding way to spend your time.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

'If it's not impossible, there must be a way to do it.'

Sir Nicholas Winton rescued 669 children from Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia at the brink of World War II. Most never saw their parents again; nearly all left behind were murdered. This is his story.

In 1938, 29-year-old 'Nicky' cancelled a ski holiday and instead spent nine months masterminding a seemingly impossible plan to rescue hundreds of Jewish children and find them homes in the UK. Over 6,000 people are alive today because of his efforts.

What motivated an ordinary man to do something so extraordinary? This book, written by his daughter, Barbara, explores the 106-year life of an incredible humanitarian, a man whose legacy only came to public light decades later.

His life story is a clarion call to choose action over apathy in the face of injustice, and a reminder that every one of us can change the world.
