The newly inaugurated Nicholas Winton Street in Prague was officially opened today by representatives of the Prague 7 municipality and other organizations. The ceremony coincides with the anniversary of the outbreak of the Second World War and the departure of the last “Winton Train” in 1939, a poignant reminder of the lives saved and those lost during the Holocaust.
Nicholas Winton Street, situated near Prague’s historic Bubny Station, honors Sir Nicholas Winton who saved 669 children before the outbreak of the Second World War.
