Trevor Chadwick
Trevor Chadwick was one of the British who oversaw the operation of the Kindertransport of Jewish children out of Nazi territory to the United Kingdom before World War II. He traveled back and forth between England and Prague in 1939 and helped ship several hundred children from Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia by both aeroplane and train. He worked with Sir Nicholas Winton, who died in 2015 at the age of 106, and who has been honoured 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.
Winton acknowledged the vital roles in Prague of Chadwick, along with Doreen Warriner, Nicholas Stopford, Beatrice Wellington, Josephine Pike and Bill Barazetti. Of Chadwick, Winton later wrote, "Chadwick did the more difficult and dangerous work after the Nazis invaded... he deserves all praise".
