For nearly 50 years, Sir Nicholas - now 94 - told no-one about what he'd done, not even his own wife. When the story finally emerged, it was made into an award-winning film called "The Power of Good". A DVD of the film has just been released for schools, containing more than an hour of extra material which could help to track down four hundred of Sir Nicholas's "children" whose fate since their rescue has remained unknown. David Vaughan has been speaking to the film's director, Matej Minac, and also two of the people Nicholas Winton rescued - Eva Krusinova and Alice Klimova, about the project, which aims to involve Czech schoolchildren in the hunt. encr@radio.cz (Cesky Rozhlas)webmaster@radio.cz (CRo Webmaster) https://english.radio.cz/sites/default/files/images/klimova_minac_krusinova.jpg?timestamp=1591470300 https://english.radio.cz/a-detective-story-a-school-project-find-jewish-children-rescued-prague-1939-8081585 Radio Prague International Radio Prague International radio.prague.int@gmail.com clean 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
