Zuzana Marešová , 85, who left Prague at seven with her two older sisters in July 1939, said the survivors of the child transports had conceived the memorial as a final act of gratitude to their parents[b], having already paid generous tribute to Winton – who died aged 106 in 2015, a year after receiving the Czech Republic’s highest honour for his rescue missions[/b].

“Can you imagine putting your children on a train, saying goodbye to them, knowing you might never see them again? We had the opportunity to thank Nicky [Winton] personally, but never to thank our parents,” she said.

“One of my most vivid memories of the parting was standing inside the train and looking out of window at the parents on the platform,” recalled Marešová , 85, now living in Prague and one of the few evacuees to later be reunited with her parents.

“All of the parents were crying and waving. I can still see them today. I can remember the parents’ hands up and our noses pressed to the glas[/b]s and that gave me the idea of the parting. The most frequently uttered sentence along the platform was, ‘See you soon’.”

[b]Most of the parents died in the Holocaust, without seeing their children again.

While we remember Hitler as one of the most disciplined and cruel leaders, we remember this man for his humanity.


What do you want to be remembered for?

659? Impressive, I guess he was rewarded with long life enough to see them grow old.

RIP Hitler
