Nicholas Winton is sometimes called the British Schindler. He saved seven hundred children from the Nazi death camps.

Sir Nicholas George Winton, MBE (born 19 May 1909) is a Briton who organised the rescue of 669 mostly Jewish children from German-occupied Czechoslovakia on the eve of World War II in an operation later known as the Czech Kindertransport. Winton found homes for them all and arranged for their safe passage to Britain.

Still going strong at nearly 101. :)
