    If a man like Dahmer can get a biopic of his disgusting story, this man deserves it a thousand times more. He lived a wealthy and secure life as a stock broker, he had no business in bureaucracy, but through sheer wit and will, he followed the kindness of his heart and realized a plan that helped save countless generations of families. And he saved all those lives without ever boasting about it. His story is fascinating considering all the obstacles that he faced and overcame along the way. He is someone that will surely inspire people to not only have the will power and dedication to realize your dreams, but to help those in need because you want to help, not because you yearn for recognition and validation.

    Imagine having to cope with the fact that while you saved almost 700 children single-handedly, you know another 200 we're on the train to safety and didn't make it plus the thousands that you couldn't get out of there and feeling like you should have done more. It must have been incredibly gratifying and at the same time haunting every time he thought about the ones he couldn't help.

      @@normancarter5419unfortunately Nicholas Winton hasn’t been recognized as righteous among the nations by Yad Yashem. What is forgotten is that Nicholas Winton had Jewish ancestry as his parents were themselves Jewish. After they immigrated to England from Germany but shortly before Nick was born they then changed their last name to Winton and then converted to Christianity as a effort to assimilate. One of the criteria of Yad Yashem is that Jewish people who rescued other Jews aren’t recognized as righteous among the nations which is therefore the reason why Winton hasn’t been recognized by Yad Yashem.

      UK tried so hard to convince the US to join the war effort. But in the end, what convinced the US to fight was Japan's bombing of Pearl Harbor.
      In World War I, if German submarines hadn't attacked passenger and merchant ships bound to and from the US, the US would ALSO not have joined World War I.

      I'm not defending Roosevelt or Congress at all with the horrible decisions the US made during WW2. We have to look deeper into what was happening in the US at the time. The US was obsessed with eugenics at the time and was deep in nationalism. Cries of America First and being against immigration were very strong from the late 1900s into WW2. Eugenics was a culture wave for white middle class and up Americans. This was when sterilization, placing people into institutions, and the "one drop" laws came into effect. An excellent book on Eugenics by Edwin Black called, War On The Weak is a great book to understand how the eugenics became such a rage, the effects on our culture, and who was affected. The Nazis actually toured the US with their eugenics campaign, went to a training camp in Virginia, and utilized what they learned to apply to their Great Solution.

      @@cliff32cr Of course I know of Desmond Tutu... we studied him in school when he was awarded the prize in the mid-80s.
      I actually know a fair amount about the Nobel prize... and have visited the Nobel Institute in Stockholm as well as the Nobel Peace Institute in Oslo several times. What I meant was that, although this man did amazing things and deserves all the praise and accolades, his accomplishments don't fall under the criteria of any of the Nobel prizes. I will assume that the OP of this comment meant he should have received the Nobel Prize for Peace... but the criteria for that are as follows:
      The prize should go to the person "who has done the most or best to advance fellowship among nations, the abolition or reduction of standing armies, and the establishment and promotion of peace congresses." This man was a great humanitarian, but would not have been a candidate for any Nobel.

    ❤️😍 this is to sweet. What a wonderful man he is. When I first started working as a CNA I took care of a man that had been in the Holocaust in a concentration camp. And he never spoke much to anyone there, he didn't like to have many people help and he only wanted a few select ppl to be the ones to take care of him I had gained his trust and became one of the select few. When he sat on his death bed I sat for hrs after my shift with him while he slowely passed away. I couldn't leave that man alone to die he had lost all his family in the conservation camp and never got married and had children. I sat watched him close his eyes for the last time, take his last breathe and say his last words. This was over 15 yrs ago now his emmeory lives inside of me and I admire that man. I cldnt imagine what he went though in his life but glad I cld be there for the end of it to let him know that he wasn't alone and someone cared about him. I'm all chocked up thinking about it.
