My heart goes out to the family of Sir Nicholas Winton for your recent loss. This loss is also a loss to the human race. I just learned about the deeds of this remarkable man, only to learn that he died 17 days ago.What an amazing man! His story brings joy and hope for the good of all mankind!My deepest sympathy to his family and friends.

Although Nicky was agnostic, nevertheless, God believed in him and chose him to save precious lives. How much better this world be if there were more like him.

What an inspiriting life story. Rarely do you hear of such persons risking their lives to save the lives of others especially the lives of children. Surely Jesus had Nicholas Winton in mind when he spoke the words at Luke 23:43. My deepest sympathy for the loss of a life well lived!

Truly wonderful man. Thank you Sir.

Hero, Humanitarian, and now Gods Angel! I'm not Jewish but the angel reference is made with utmost respect!

Such a true HERO, Mensch and a wonderful Father, who saved so many children from certain death. Rest in Peace, sweet, brave man. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I'm neither Jewish nor religious in any way shape or form, but after hearing of Nicholas Winton and reading the book, I found a man who asked noting in return for his selfless action, a hero, not a man of war but not afraid to step in and help. Deepest condolences to family and friends.

he is a man worthy of extreme honor. he will be remembered.
