The audience rose when they learned who was among them! He saved 669 children and didn’t tell a soul
Looking at this ordinary elderly Englishman, it is hard to fathom that this old and weak grandfather, at one point, did something that saved the fates and lives of tens of thousands of people around the world...

Are ya all out of your mind? The Holocaust didn’t happen . It’s their weapon agains any other kind. Joseph Stalin give them a huge piece of land in the far South- East corner of the Soviet Union which is still carrying the name of “ Jewish federation “. The so called “ Holocaust “ was in deed a pleasurable travel in first class trains with sleeping cart on the Trans Siberian train, filled with treasures arts and other valuables. If I’m gonna reach that age as that worm did, I could tell stories about what a big heroes my folks were. Careful scientists proved that Anna Frank Diary was in deed a hook, but can not put it in the news because that is in their hands to. One honest Jewish old man said it to me when I was a child, “ Boy,remember what I’m telling you, with a pen you can hit anything or anybody harder than with a gun!”

@@carolmartin2503 actually he was Jewish and their messiah is Moses not Jesus whom they still believe a false prophet.
I am a physician and have a patient who is of German descent and was 12 years old during beginning of WWII. She tells a story of how her father was re-enlisted as an officer (in 1938) into the SS and he knew exactly what they were doing. He played along with them so he could try to help. He would memorize names at work of those Jews who were to be taken from their homes in the upcoming week or weeks. He would contact them and tell them they needed to leave immediately and only take 2 layers of clothing and what they could carry in 1 hand. She mentioned a few other officers were caught writing down names and were shot on site so he never wrote down anything. He organized with friends an underground network of businesses that would smuggle Jewish families out of Germany and did this throughout the war. One person who helped him was a friend who had a tobacco shop next door and a secret small room the men used to play poker in and smoke cigars. The room was behind the fireplace. He made it look more discreet and would put the families in hiding until the next underground station was ready. She states that he explicitly told them not to try to thank him or call or write to him as these would all be traced back and he would be killed and wouldn't be able to help anyone else. Her mother helped as she could by baking food for the Jews and others escaping. Her mother and father at the end of the war estimated he had saved over 500 families. He never told anyone and nobody ever wrote it down until I am doing it now. She said her father never wanted credit and he was doing 'God's work' in an 'Evil Time and Place'. She is still alive but slowing down a bit and the sweetest woman you can imagine. God Bless her and her father and all those who endured and were able to either help or were helped.

Actress MARY TYLER MOORE starred in a movie based on true facts from this, I think the name of the movie is STOLEN MEMORIES OR STOLEN INNOCENCE Today TENN CHILDRENS SERVICES SAYS THEY HAVE A VERY GOOD PROGRAM WHEN IT COMES TO CHILDREN BUT WHEN ASKED WHY 45 KIDS DIED IN TENN FOSTER HOMES, THEY SAID THEY WILL GET BACK ON THAT BENN OVER TEN YEARS AND THE PEOPLE ARE STILL WAITING, HOW MANY MORE HAVE DIED?

Indeed, people like him are the real saints 👏
It is easy to lose faith in humankind until a man like this comes along. He exemplifies everything good that stands as a beacon for us lesser souls to follow. His story is inspirational and should be made into a movie! Rest in peace, Sir, or should I say, rest in heaven because if anyone deserves a place there, it is surely you!

I must sadly admit that this is the first time that I have ever heard of this gentleman. It is one of the most truly compassionate and humanitarian story`s that I have ever heard and the fact that he never mentioned any of it to even his family, is a true testament to what a truly humble man he was, doing what he saw as only right and proper. The World needs more people like this Gentleman. RIP Sir.

I don't think it was humility that stopped him speaking about it. Ironically, I think it was shame. To us, he's an incredible hero, but a person in that situation rarely thinks of themselves that way. A similar sentiment was expressed in Schindler's List. Sure, he took advantage of his unique position and saved 669 children, but perhaps if he'd tried a little harder, maybe he could have saved more. The unique privilege of being able to save lives is cursed by the weight of the lives you didn't. I hope the experience in this video made him feel better.

What an extraordinary person. And *he never told anyone.* After my grandfather passed away we discovered (found his armband) he had been member of the Danish resistance during WWII. He never told anyone, not even my grandmother knew. Some years earlier upon being knighted he had to write his memoirs for the Queen of Denmark. He wrote a special sealed addendum "for the queens eyes only" so we don't know what was in it. My guess is it concerns his time in the WWII resistance.
