Barbara Ann Winton was born on 23rd October 1953 in Taplow, Buckinghamshire in Great Britain. She was a daughter of Grete and Nicholas Winton. She spent her childhood in Maidenhead, Berkshire, where she attended Girls´Grammar School and continued studying homeopathy at London College of Homeopathy. She worked as consultant in complementary therapy (homeopathy and nutrition therapy) and lived with her family in Herefordshire. She devoted much of her time to her father, Sir Nicholas Winton. She accompanied him on his trips, especially to the Czech Republic. In 1988 the life of the family changed dramatically. It has become general knowledge that in 1939 Nicky saved lives of 669 mostly Jewish children by making it possible for them to escape from the Nazi occupied Czechoslovakia. Barbara took an active role in all the commemorative events linked to this deed and helped to maintain contacts with the “Winton children.” She is the author of the book If It´s Not Impossible...in which she not only described what happened but also tried to find the answer about what had motivated her father to take an active role and help the unknown children. Barbara Winton passed away on 20th September 2022.
