My sister's friend was part of a group that held a showing at a logical theater last week and then did a question and answer session after the film "One Life" about Nicholas Winton and all the hundreds of children he saved. Very sad. Live musicians played the score from the movie as we entered the theater. I was glad to see so many of those rescued kids got to be close friends of Winton after the story came out. Almost a dozen of the audience members at the theatre were descended from people Winton saved.
