The Fuhrer into his pretensions, Adolf Hitler, began his “Mein Kampf” propagandist persona ..”his crusade to eradicateannihilate eliminate 6 million human beings of Jewish origin, but for their quality (Herr Doctor Albert Einstein)
Men women and children .
“ The Fuhrer spits on you scum!”
Especially the kiddies. With their whooping cough, measles, chicken pox.…wipe contagious dreams/ diseases from the face of “this mortal coiled planet”. (war poverty and disease, UCLA’s Prof Frederic Woelner)
“Hansel and Gretel, Jack and the beanstalk ,3 litte pigs went to market, Humpty dumpty sat on the wall…. Little Red Riding Hod…Cinderella

His “Mein Kampf” its own blasphemous delirium: rounding them all up in trains, shipping them out the final solution….withered to vanish in gas chambers and soap bars, inconcentration camps (*Auschwitz, outside Munich, Germany, among several death camps.
V
Where was the free world in the face of these racial murderers,led by “The great dictator” (Chaplin’s “off the charts”)
Where was Nevile Chamberlain? England’s prime minister? Churchill, the First Lord of the Admiralty, his mother and aunt, born in the Brooklyn Heights.. off the Court Street & Montaguereality scene.

Sitting on their hands, yet the foretaste in the ’36 Olympic Games, the Fuhrer sitting on his, not cheering nor shaking the hands for the Jesse Owens a sprinter, whose skin pigment’s moment moment wasn’t his..
The sprinter’s eye and hand coordination, not unlike Ucla’sJackie Robinson who broke the color line years later with the Brooklyn Dodgers under Rickey’s “Gashouse gang” openmindedness ….( Gershwin’s ”Porgy and Bess”)

“Sir Winton put his life on the line to save these youngsters from evil,” said the former librarian at the Fort Hamilton Army library. “The highest calliing of Judaism and Christianity.”

A merchant banker a la the titled(Baron) Rothschild “muse” on a smaller scale..
Indeed!
Their son however was humbled during those years…not Eton nor public schools but the hard knocks….(“Dead poet’ssociety”) where he m y hve identified with the needs of the “have nots”, the masses living from day to day, mouth to mouth.

Whether it was George Arliss, C Aubrey Smith, Loretta Young, Robert Young, Alan Mobray (Lacienica tennis courts), the House of Rothschild” depicts father and founder lay dying, delegates his 5 sons to create oportunity (the cream cheese bandit in Los Angeles) in Italy, France, and England..a moral decision since aristocratic Europe sold off in front of the Napoleonic wars, the Rothschild “muse” didn’t panic..
Therefore in this calamity, Winton, later knighted by the Queen…”you are Sir Winton”, this aristocrat on a skiig vacation hears “Drop your skis. Come to our Prague apartment hotgel and help us,” said a friend, off the divine intervention radar scope.

“No ninetyish Francis Lederer here,” said the skier “Where’s our Holy Grail?” he asked, those soulful eyes, beyond his years and persona into Rotarian leadership: President, giving his presence an impact the holy unholy trio would not have the appearance, the trio could embrace and demonstrate with trheGestapo bureaucrats in their herdy gerdy Prague stance. X XIII
“How to outwit the Gestapo and Goebbels,” said Winton..thefinal solution estoppel in the palm of his hand. … a sporting news racing form….the personas of three gentlemen, betting on horse flesh …the human race, on hold, while on a skiing holiday….(Jockies Johnny Longden, Willie Shoemaker on hold)
The three Czech spies murmured “Horse flesh , comrades is where it’s at.” The blue prints detailing the Prague train station. Them location of the elementary and secondary schools…religious symbols disguised or disfigured, so that the Goebbel’s machine and subservient would dismiss the school fire drills as a bureaucratic disaster drill…….the three skiers as confederates, their skis in anticipation, waiting for the Kristalnacht crisis, evolving into the goose stepping “HeilHitler” .
XIV
In those ensuing moments of liberating the youngsters from their pending doom, Winton used his Rotarian presence to persuade the Gestapo bureaucrats of their cosmopolitan entreaties into Prague yesterdays for Elemtentary and Secondary Education.
Young innocents..kindegarden to senior problems and the prom playing out…..

“Hose flesh not human flesh,” said Winton to his two accomplices, handing them the scenario “Confessions of a Nazi Spy”

How could they have known the exterminon of the 6 million….Goebbels genocide from the University of Heidelberg. … a wishfulfillment by a PHD doctor of Philosophy.
An admirer of Dostoevsky, Joseph A. Goebbels became a journalist and found his role as a propagandist for the National Socialist Party .

In the meantime our three reenergized ski aristocratic personas, their pedigreed ,touring the corridors of Prague Academia knew that the corridors of power by Goebbels storm troopers in Berlin, could undermine their own mission to evacuate the schoolchildren of Prague, before the Goebbels machine could round the up. .. deliver a crushing death blow.

Six trains filled with the revels of Czech school kids on a “Life is beautiful” rfrainite…..the spirited sounds of the kids ….the 7thtrain about to depart the Prague station when suddenly a auniformed officer…a Gestapo agent on orders from “uppity ups”halted the train at its departure gate..
But the six had already left…….thru Holland…..
XX
The world knows how Sir Winton for all his hundred and six years ,played out his persona in the London countryside, officiating as the President of the Rotary club, playing out the directives, insuring the schoolchildren of Prague, saw the light of day, knowing their parents were persecuted and eliminated for being nothing than a human being of Jewish ancestry…a potential human being with promise to be….fulfilling his immortal soul.

The refrain … ”Please keep that train away from my door”playing out.
