The Czech government bestowed the Order of the White Lion upon Sir Nicholas Winton of Great Britain on October 28, 2014. This is the highest Czech honor for a foreigner to receive for service to the Czech Republic. Sir Winton, now 105 years old, helped to organize the exodus of 669 children from Czechoslovakia on KinderTrains to England from 1938-1939. His actions helped to spare these children from almost certain death in Nazi concentration camps. Stay tuned for our next Bohemican Podcast where we will present this amazing story of The Kinder Transport to Freedom.
