This is one of the most beautiful moments you will ever witness.
Sir Nicholas Winton helped 669 children — most of them Jewish — escape the Holocaust.
His humanitarian accomplishments would remain unknown and unnoticed by the world for nearly 50 years.
Then in 1988 he was invited to the BBC TV show That's Life!. There he sat — unknowingly — as part of the studio audience, surrounded by the children he had rescued. They were now adults.
Then they surprised him with one of the greatest gifts of all time. Their presence.
They were there, all alive — because of him. Not only was he reunited with dozens of children he had saved, but he was also introduced to many of their children and grandchildren.
Please remember Sir Nicholas Winton, for his humanitarian operation known as the Czech Kindertransport.
Sir Nicholas George Winton, a British stockbroker, and a gift to this planet, left us on July 1, 2015, at the age of 106.
May his memory forever be a blessing and inspiration to all.
Please share. International Holocaust Day cannot be forgotten. But many are working to make that happen.

This is one of my absolute favorite things in the world - seeing shelter dogs pick out their Christmas presents.
It's the most wholesome thing you'll see on here all day. 🥰♥️

Hi, ER Doc here.
I use this account to teach people about medical emergencies. It’s my 10 year Twitter anniversary today and would love to hit 650K followers to be able to reach more people.
Can I get some follows and RTs to help me get there?
Today, the Taliban passed a law that bans women from showing their faces and having their voices heard in public. Their burqas must now entirely cover their faces and they are not permitted to speak in public or to look at any males that are not relatives. Perhaps it’s been an emotional year, or maybe it’s because I’m triggered, but I once again cried when I heard the news. I’m still trying to piece myself together. Not even animals are treated with such cruelty, such dehumanization, such indignity, and such little value for human life. This is the entire erasure of the existence of women, and it cuts me to the core to know what Afghanistan and Iran were before this cancerous plague was brought to us. Where are the protests? Where is the outrage? Where is the ICJ? The ICC? Amnesty? Why doesn’t anybody care about the effective enslavement of millions of women under the jihadist system of gender apartheid?
We are delighted to share our latest preprint led by @JeremieSubrini 🚨

Sometimes I wonder whether AI-run governments are the future of 21st century civilization?
Will they be better or worse than human-run regimes?
We are a perplexing species.
Why did Socrates dislike democracy?
He likened the state to a ship — the uneducated voting in elections is like a ship taken over by a crew with no knowledge of sailing.
Democracies, he thought, are doomed to fail... (thread) 🧵
