When most people looked away, he acted.
Decency & Determination tells the inspiring story of Nicholas Winton, a 29-year-old stockbroker who orchestrated a daring rescue of Jewish refugee children in 1939. Racing against time as Nazi forces closed in on Prague, Nicholas found foster families, forged documents, and coordinated trains that carried 669 children to safety in England. But not every child made it out.
Told through the intertwined perspectives of Nicholas and two refugee children—composite characters drawn from historical accounts—this vivid tale shows how ordinary people, acting with courage and conviction, can bring light into the darkest times.
Crafted for young readers, the book includes historical context, color photographs and maps, and a detailed fact-vs-fiction breakdown of the dramatized story.
