A WORLD WAR II HERO – NICHOLAS WINTON

Meditating on how can we really be alive

Here goes a small video documentary of one not so known hero of the World War II, his own wife didn’t know that he had helped thousands of Jewish children to escape the horror in the Slovak Republic. His name is Nicholas Winton – during the war, he was visiting Slovak and witnessed the fear of Jewish families; and thought about a manner of helping Jewish children move out of there.

So, he arranged a manner to get them in England. I can’t imagine how hard it might have been for the parents to let them go, even on the break of extermination.

This good man helped to save thousands of children…it’s worthy looking up the video. It’s touching and moving to see that Baruch Hashem, some innocent children were saved from the barbarian camps.

It’s very touching to see that those children had children and are alive and well, and that Mr. Winton had a significant part on that; but I hope that their grandchildren never forget that their ancestors went through such persecution because monsters wanted to exterminate the Jewish Nation.

Therefore, besides escaping alive and sharing their beautiful story – I hope that they may maintain Jewish tradition, so that the Jewish Nation so much tormented may flourish more and more and keep growing in numbers, spiritually and materially.

That’s the way to surface the death of millions – through passing from generation to generation the beauty of the tradition of Am Israel, otherwise our enemies win. We should think about it.

That’s why I think Chabad is doing an excellent job in telling everyone that the only way we can fight the action of terror is with adding more light unto our very lives.
