Nicholas Winton Memorial in Praha Hlavni Nadrazi, Prague, CZ, July 2015
I don't normally put the month in the titles of my photos, but in this case it's significant, as this was less than two weeks after the death of Nicholas Winton at 106 years old (he died on July 1st, 2015). Wikipedia describes him as a "humanitarian," which doesn't do him full justice, as he became best known for having rescued 669 children from the Nazis, arranging for their transport to London (by rail, sea, and air, but primarily by rail) on what became known as the Kindertransport.

The bronze statue behind the candles was actually added within his lifetime, as was another memorial in the passenger tunnel from the platforms, portraying a train door. The candles were added to both memorials to commemorate him after his death.
