'Is there anyone in our audience tonight who owes their life to Nicholas Winton, and if so, could you stand up please?' In 1988, the BBC paid tribute to the heroic work of the humanist Nicholas Winton, an English stockbroker who saved more than 650 Jewish children ahead of WWII on the Kindertransport.
