Setting up a makeshift headquarters in his hotel room, Nicholas Winton took names and photographs from parents desperate to get their children out of danger.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHe raised money, found foster families in England, arranged travel and visas, and, when necessary, bribed officials and forged documents.
