Exhibition on Wenceslas Square commemorates Sir Nicholas Winton

An open-air exhibition in remembrance of Sir Nicholas Winton, who saved the lives of 669, mostly Jewish children, by arranging their evacuation from Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia before the outbreak of WWII, gets underway on Wenceslas Square in Prague on Wednesday. The exhibition, organised by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, consists of 28 panels with photographs presenting the life story of Winton and the children he saved. It will run through the end of October. Sir Nicholas died on July 1 this year at the age of 106.
