Aged eight, Thomas Graumann excitedly boarded a train in Prague,
Czechoslovakia, to embark on what he believed was a three-month
holiday. "Go to Britain, learn English, and when the Germans leave,
you can come home again," his mother assured him. Thomas carried
two suitcases and a bag of food. At the time he knew his country
had been taken over by the Germans and now was under Nazi control.
That was the last he would see of his mother and most of his Jewish
family, who died in concentration camps. He had also never heard of
Nicholas Winton, the hero who saved 669 children (Thomas was one of
the last, #652), transporting them from Czechoslovakia to the UK to
save their lives. This was Thomas' first rescue, aboard what became
known as the Kindertransport. His second came a year later when an
evangelist from the Scottish village he was taken to for safety
shared the good news of Jesus Christ with him. Saying a prayer on
bent knee, Thomas' soul was rescued, and he soon dedicated himself
to missionary service, which he fulfilled as an adult in the
Philippines, eventually moving to the U.S. But his missionary zeal
returned after the fall of Communism-and the return of his
grandmother's property to his family. Both actions ushered in a way
for him to return to the Czech Republic. The former rescued child
was now free to travel throughout his homeland, speaking in schools
of how he was rescued ... not once, but twice.
