Current Affairs Nicholas Winton film wins Emmy in New York
Monday night saw the announcement of this year's Emmy television awards in the United States, and among the winners was a Czech-Slovak co-production called "Nicholas Winton - the Power of Good." The film tells the extraordinary tale of a British diplomat who helped around 700 Jewish children escape Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia in 1939. The children never saw their parents again, while Nicholas Winton never talked about what he did for fifty years. Radio Prague's David Vaughan recently had the opportunity of meeting Sir Nicholas Winton, now 93, and some of "his" children, during a visit to the Czech Republic.
