One of the most important events in his life was when in the Second World War after various strategies he managed to evacuate 669 Jewish children from the Czech Republic to the United Kingdom where not only did he get them out of such a war and leave them safe, He also arranged for several families to take care of of their maintenance, as if they were their own children.
I consider that this is the most important reason for me to be one of the people I admire most, I explain myself I am from the health area, I am sure there is nothing more rewarding, nothing more special that motivates, fill the heart that save lives .
Another of the reasons why I admire him is the fact of having performed this act without expecting anything in return, that is; he did it for those children, for their well-being and for me it has a meaning, a fairly large demonstration of solarity, love, strength and intelligence.
