Nicholas Winton, who saved over 650 Czech children, meets President Klaus

Nicholas Winton, who saved 669 mostly Jewish children from the Nazis in the run up to WWII, met Czech President Klaus on Wednesday morning. At the start of the meeting, President Klaus told Mr. Winton that he was 'not forgotten, nor would he ever be'. Mr. Winton, who organized transports out of the former Czechoslovakia for children endangered by the Nazi regime, is in Prague all this week, attending Vaclav Havel's Forum 2000. On Tuesday, he met with Czech students and some of the children who survived the war thanks to his assistance. It was also revealed on Tuesday that over 30,000 people have signed a petition calling for Mr. Winton to receive the Nobel Peace Prize.
