Nicky’s Family
Docudrama | Czech and English with English subtitles | 96 minutes
Info
While preparing for a ski holiday, Nicholas Winton, a British stockbroker, was asked by a friend to check out the dire conditions for Jews in Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia. Cancelling his vacation, Winton heads for Prague where he is appalled with the extent of Nazi brutality. Winton is especially aghast when he is approached by parents pleading him to save their children. With courage and deftness, Winton set up his own Kindertransport, saving hundreds of children from probable extermination. His plan was to transport the children by train and ferry to England where they would be safe. Winton kept meticulous records so the children could be united with their parents after the war. Equally courageous were the parents who tearfully put their children on the train not knowing if they will see them again.
