Nicholas
Winton, a Briton who said nothing for a half-century about his role in
organizing the escape of 669 mostly Jewish children from Czechoslovakia
on the eve of World War II, a righteous deed like those of Oskar
Schindler and Raoul Wallenberg, died on Wednesday in Maidenhead,
England. He was 106.
The Rotary Club of Maidenhead, of which Mr. Winton was a former president, announced his death on its website. He lived in Maidenhead, west of London.
