00:00 30 seconds to on air.
00:04 Okay, and you are just here.
00:08 Good night, Sid Farber.
00:10 Now, an extraordinary story about a young man who many years ago visited Prague.
00:20 What he found there were thousands of refugees at the mercy of Hitler's imminent invasion.
00:27 Do you ever think about the children and what happened to them?
00:33 I bet you've got some stories.
00:38 That's really not about me.
00:41 We are working to evacuate these children by train to safety in Britain.
00:48 Why are you doing this, Mr. Winton?
00:51 Because I may be able to do something about it.
00:54 I mustn't.
00:57 No, no, no.
00:59 Nicky, you must know we cannot save them all.
01:10 You have to forgive yourself that.
01:13 We started, sir. I have to finish it.
01:17 We cannot let these people down.
01:20 It is incredible what you achieved.
01:25 We're doing as much as we can.
01:27 You have a lot of faith in ordinary people.
01:31 Because I'm an ordinary person.
01:34 Save one life, save the world.
01:37 Forgive me, but how many children are we speaking about?
01:40 Can I ask, is there anyone in the audience tonight who owes their life to Nicholas Winton?
