7. Here's the clip of the BBC British TV Show 'That's Life!' from 1988

with Sir Nicholas Winton and the surprise guests, the (grown up) adults who he helped rescue when they were children, in the audience with their own children and families.

(Most of the 669 children rescued were Czech, and I recently read that there were also several from Austria, Germany, and Poland I think, who were evacuated). Every time I watch this and read about the true story it breaks me up!

I've read several articles recently about the new movie on Sir Winton's life, "One Life" and only one of the articles included the video of this 1988 BBC program. I don't know why, except maybe they thought it would spoil the upcoming movie. - What a remarkable man!

If you're interested, I added a LINK to the main article above about actress Helena Bonham Carter (she plays Sir Nicholas' mother in the new film). Helena's grandparents also helped the WW2 effort! - Thanks for posting.
