Zuzana Marešová, the last 'Winton' child in the Czech Republic, has died
Zuzana Marešová, recognized as the last surviving 'Winton' child in the Czech Republic, has passed away.
Zuzana Marešová, who was known as the last of the 'Winton children' in the Czech Republic, has sadly died, marking the end of an era for those connected to the compassionate efforts of Sir Nicholas Winton during World War II. Winton is remembered for his heroic work in rescuing Jewish children from Czechoslovakia and bringing them to safety in Britain, and Marešová was one of the few remaining individuals who could recount firsthand experiences of being rescued as a child. Marešová dedicated much of her later life to sharing her story and preserving the history of the Winton children, ensuring that the sacrifices made during war times are not forgotten. Her passing not only represents a personal loss for family and friends but also highlights the importance of remembering the humanitarian acts that saved countless lives during a dark period of history.
