Nick’s mother is credited for discovering his father’s scrapbook

When Nick Winton’s mother Grete Winton came across a scrapbook in her attic that belonged to her husband 50 years before, she was stunned at what she found. The “Czech Kindertransport” story remained untold for 50 years until she gave the old scrapbook with photographs and the names of the escapees to Elisabeth Maxwell, a Holocaust researcher and wife of newspaper proprietor Robert Maxwell. He arranged for his newspaper to publish articles on Winton’s incredible rescue of 669 children.

BBC Television picked up the story of the rescue and began searching for the children who had been rescued. Winton and a studio audience full of these children, now adults, appeared together on Esther Rantzen’s BBC television program, That’s Life in February 1988.

Nicholas Winton, who was in his late 70s at the time, was given no warning of what was to unfold and was not best pleased to have been tricked for instant television drama – and bucketfuls of tears. It was the start of a curious coda to the senior Nickolas’s life, in which he has been showered with tributes – a knighthood in 2003, a statue at Prague railway station, and, at the end of last month, Czechoslovakia’s highest honour, the Order of the White Lion.
