669 secret kids
Hey, listen up. Anthony Hopkins, you know, the dude with the Oscars? He's playing a real-life superhero, none other than Sir Nicholas Winton.
Sir Nicholas Winton? Can't say I've heard of him.
This guy saved 669 kids from the Nazis back in World War Deuce. Didn't even brag about it. Took a TV show and a scrapbook for the world to know.
That's… that's incredible. Like a silent guardian, Psalm 82:3 calls to "Give justice to the weak and the fatherless; maintain the right of the afflicted and the destitute."
Right you are. They made a flick, "One Life." Got 6,000 peeps alive today 'cause Winton saved them.
6,000 lives...
Hopkins sure thinks the man's a hero, even if Winton himself didn't.
And it wasn't just him, right? Sounds like it took a team to pull it off.
Bingo. Volunteers, every Jane and Joe doing their part. Real band of brothers stuff.
I wonder what that felt like, saving so many and yet feeling haunted by the ones you couldn't…
Yeah, Johnny Flynn plays young Winton in the film. Says the man was torn up 'bout the last train. The war started, borders closed, and those kids...
It's heartbreaking, but their work changed the course of history.
That's the stuff. Anyway, the movie’s droppin’ in the new year. Might wanna swing by.
For sure. True heroism often goes unnoticed. His memory is a testament to righteousness in a dark time.
Bible Trivia!
The book of Judges tells of the courageous warrior named Shamgar, who fought against the Philistines. With an oxgoad, he defeated 600 Philistines (Judges 3:31).
He had the energy to stab enemies 600 times with a cattle prod?!
