He knew nothing of what was going on. Somehow the MC had a member of the audience stand up and tell her life story. She was sitting next to Winton. He was overwhelmingly surprised and moved.

Then another and another. Then the MC asks "How many here were saved by Nicholas Winton?" The whole audience stood up. He was so overwhelmed as was I. I was a blubbering mess in my living room.

I can't remember how or when I saw this clip but OMG - one of the most moving things in my life.
