For 72 years, Lisa Gumpel kept a secret . “For a long time, I was determined not to tell anyone about it,” said Gumpel, 85 years old, 31 finally settled in Minnesota after the war and now lives in the Twin Cities.
She told people that she and her two sisters were among 669 Jewish children 32 (save) by a kind man to escape from the Nazi concentration camp in 1939. Their rescuer was 33 British businessman named Nicholas Winton, who also kept the story to 34 until his wife found a list of the children’s names.
Gumpel was shocked in 1988 when the 35 (true) about Winton’s one-man rescue operation finally came out. “Nobody knew that he actually did all 36 himself,” she said. “He worked so hard to save lives.”
Winton still doesn’t think that he’s a hero, arguing that his life was never 37 danger and that he was doing 38 he feels every person should do.
A party was held for him and the people he’d saved. Gumpel was 39 (excite) when she finally met him. “He still 40 (treat) us all like we’re his kids,” she said with a warm smile on the face.
