"Nicky's Family," An Inspirational Holocaust Documentary

ONE ACT OF KINDNESS OF ONE ENGLISHMAN CHANGED THE WORLD. Do you want to know what it takes to make a difference?

Come watch a gripping documentary that shows how Sir Nicholas Winton changed the world. Nicholas Winton was just an everyday Englishman looking to make himself useful before the dawn of World War II. Without a real plan, he somehow managed to organize the rescue of 669 Jewish Czech and Slovak children during the outbreak of World War II. After the war, Winton never discussed his efforts for more than half a century. Fifty years later, his family stumbled upon a suitcase in the attic, full of documents and transport plans. His amazing story touched his nation in unexpected ways. The film depicts the ripple effect that his heroism has had on the descendants of the children he saved, most of whom never knew the man who had saved them. 

After the screening, there will be two Holocaust survivors who have been saved by Sir Nicholas Winton in attendance to answer any questions.
