Summary

Description

As part of Kindertransport, Czech Jewish children board an airplane at Ruzyně airport, Prague, Czechoslovakia, which will take them to safety in London. Sir Nicholas Winton appears towards the end of the clip, wearing glasses.

>From a contemporary news report: "Today on the aerodrome of Ruzyn nearly 30 children of refugees took leave of their parents. Two Dutch Douglas airplanes brought them to Rotterdam and from there to London. This is the charitable work of the Barbican Mission of London, under direction of Rev. Wallner. He intends to give 60 children all together a new home in London where they will remain till their 18th year. The youngest of these children is only two and a half years old, the eldest one 11 years old. The leave-taking was grievous. Nobody was untouched seeing the tears of the remaining parents who will not see again their children for many long years. Before starting the pilot said: 'Never my life I have had such a responsibility. My Lord -- 30 children!' Five hours later I get the news that the airplanes are well landed in London."
