Nicholas Winton: The Father of 669
|
| Greta Winton was surprised and confused when she uncovered a scrapbook containing the names of 669 children that her husband, Nicholas Winton, had kept in their attic for 50 years. Nine months before the Second World War broke out, Nicholas assisted in removing Jewish children from Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia and transporting them to Britain. Nicholas wondered what had happened to the children, but didn’t realize the full depth of his actions until a reunion on a BBC television program. His courageous acts have inspired charitable programs around the world, and put into action a legacy far beyond the endurance and heroism of one man. His ardour proves that the biggest measures can begin with one individual. Sir Nicholas Winton died on 1 July 2015 at age 106. This BBC report on a memorial service a year after his death shares Winton’s remarkable story. |

Milan Rai: The Butterfly Effect
“One day I was thinking, and suddenly, I noticed this tiny butterfly in my studio. I was drawn to it and managed to capture it. I’d heard a Native American proverb that said if you capture a butterfly and whisper your wish and let it go, it will take your wish to the greater spirit and your wish will come true. So I made a wish and without expecting my wish to come true, I just let it go. That was my first learning — letting it go. When I did that, suddenly something felt so light in me. And butterflies kept coming and visiting. Sometimes they sat on my forehead. They kept coming and reminding me of the power of simplicity. So I said to myself, ‘I don’t have to do complex things. Make it simple and be very honest with your work and don’t expect anything from it.’ So after doing all this, one day I designed a butterfly shape and pinned it in a public space.” Artist Milan Rai shares more in this interview. { read more }
