Born in Prague, then in Czechoslovakia, Dubs was one of 669 Czech, mainly Jewish, children saved by English stockbroker Nicholas Winton from the Nazis on the 'Kindertransport'. He only discovered that he was one of the "Winton children" a few years ago after a relative saw his name on a television programme by Esther Rantzen. He has a clear memory of leaving Prague station at the age of six and not touching the food pack given to him by his mother for the next two days. But he had no idea who masterminded his escape. He has written and broadcast extensively on the subject, campaigning for Winton to be honoured. Winton was later knighted for his actions.
