Because the majority of Jews did not fit that description, they were targeted. Thousands of them were sent to concentration camps to die, while others were arrested and killed. In an attempt to save as many lives as possible, many people hid Jewish refugees during the

Nicholas Winton is probably a name unfamiliar to many unless you have kept track with the news the past few months. Sir Nicholas Winton was an unknown war hero until recent when he came out about it.
