Lady Milena Grenfell Baines described the horrific time of the Holocaust and the terrible events which she and her sister endured. She explained the heroic role played by Sir Nicholas Winton, a unique and courageous figure, and his remarkable rescue mission.

Sir Nicholas Winton, called ‘Britain’s Schindler’ by former Prime Minister Tony Blair, was the brains behind the Czech Kindertransport that saved 669 children in the first six months of 1939. A stockbroker of German-Jewish heritage, he refused to stand by when he saw the injustice happening and not only spoke out but helped to save the lives of hundreds of children.

“It was very emotional,” said one Year 9 pupil. “She went through so much. In the blink of an eye her life was turned upside-down. It makes you realise how lucky we are.”

 We are meeting at 1.30 pm at Wythenshawe Hall and will walk through the Park and round the playing fields, through the woods and along the Brook. There is a lot of space for children to run around so if you want to bring the kids they will be welcome. We walk at an easy pace and we can tell you more about other walks we lead if you would like to try more walking.

 Hope to see you there
