Listen "Nicholas Winton – Save One Life, Save the World"
Episode Synopsis
Even today, new stories emerge about the Holocaust, and its unrelenting evil remains almost impossible to grasp, coldly calculated cruelty on an unimaginable scale. Perhaps the hardest part to comprehend is that, for the Nazis, being Jewish alone was a death sentence. Children of any age were not spared. Historians estimate that 1.5 million children, mostly Jewish, were murdered. How can we even begin to comprehend that?Yet amid such barbarity, there were acts of extraordinary heroism, courage, and kindness. One of those heroes was Nicholas Winton, a young British stockbroker in 1939. As Europe teetered on the brink of war, he resolved to save as many Jewish children as he could, ultimately rescuing 669 by bringing them to Britain. His story reminds us that even in the darkest times, moral courage and selfless action endure, pointing us toward truths that transcend human reasoning and guide us to make the right choices.
