Then Johan would risk his life by searching to find families who would shelter these children. Once a family was found (based on physical discriptions so no one would be suspicious), the child would be smuggled in laundry baskets on the back of a students bike.

Though he has saved over 600 children he is still ¨haunted¨ by how much more he could have done.

You know for a fact that the children you leave behind are going to die. I took twelve with me. Later on I asked myself: ‘Why not thirteen?’”

It is either pure luck of an act of God that allowed him to pull of the heist of children every single time. He rescued 600 children from sure death. For comparison there are 630 students that attend Bloom Carroll High School.
