Steve Harris

Available for over a year

A model has been created of a statue that will honour a man who helped save hundreds of children destined for Nazi concentration camps. Trevor Chadwick helped Sir Nicholas Winton rescue 669 children from Czechoslovakia ahead of World War Two. It is hoped the statue will be placed in his hometown of Swanage, Dorset, in 2022. Local artist Moira Purver said she designed the sculpture to show his "amazingly generous nature". She's been talking to BBC Radio Solent's Dorset breakfast presenter, Steve Harris.
