Saint Nicholas the Other

Apr 13, 2021
1 min read

I was going to make this a "Tweet of the Day," since it comes from a tweet -- but it's to substantial for just that.  As the note describes, it concerns Sir Nicholas Winton who saved many hundreds of children from Germany.  The shame is that this is only a few minutes, because I'm sure the full TV program at the heart of this would have been especially moving and wonderful.  Happily, this is plenty good.


It also puts in deeper perspective the previous administration taking children away from their parents and putting them in cages.


Elsewhere on Mr. Simanowitz's timeline, he had a quote from Nicholas Winton, who passed away in 2015 at the well-earned age of 106.  "Don't be content in your life to just do no wrong.  Be prepared every day to try to do some good."
