Considering the Warsaw ghetto uprising occurred this week 73 years ago, and Israel's birth was 70 years ago this week, as well, I thought this story deserved a mention, too.
Some years ago, a British TV show introduced a woman in the audience as one of the Jewish children who were saved by Sir Nicholas Winton in 1938, and after explaining what he did and how they found out (he had never told anyone), then the hostess tells her "And the man who saved you is sitting there next to you."
So after they meet, the hostess turns to the audience and asks "And do we have anybody else here tonight whose life was saved by Mr. Winton?"
And that's when every last person in the audience stands up. It had all been arranged in advance by the show's producers. Watch the video for the full story.
Gee, is someone cutting up onions around this joint? :-)
"Politics is just show business for ugly people."
