From March 10th Mail Online.com.
British Prime Minister Gordon Brown honored two surviving Britons, Sir Nicholas Winton and Denis Avey, for their roles in saving intended Nazi victims of the Holocaust.
Sir Winton, 100, rescued 669 mainly Jewish children from a train in Prague in 1939. Avey, 91, exchanged places with a Jewish inmate at Auschwitz while a POW. After that, he gathered facts about the horror and helped another inmate survive by sharing supplies.
Others Britons were honored posthumously.
Phylis le Drruillence's husband Harold sheltered Russian prisoners during the German occupation of Jersey.
All these people received the Silver Medallion.
