Memorial for 1939 Kindertransport

Early in 1939 shortly before the start of World War II, Nicholas Winton organized kindertransports of 669 mainly Jewish children from Nazi occupied Prague to Britain, saving them from almost certain death. Most of the parents never saw their children again and were murdered in the Holocaust. In addition to a memorial of Winton, a memorial for the brave parents will now be constructed in Prague to commemorate the events.
