Trevor Chadwick
Trevor Chadwick was one of the British who oversaw the operation of the Kindertransport of Jewish children out of Nazi territory to England before World War II.[1][2] He traveled back and forth between England and Prague in 1939 and helped ship several hundred children from Nazi occupied Czechoslovakia by both airplane and train.[3][4][5] He worked with Sir Nicholas Winton, who died in 2015 at the age of 106, and who has been honored since his role in the operation was revealed. Chadwick was a schoolteacher who had no official capacity, but who had volunteered to work with the rescue effort.[6][7]
