Ironically some of them are no-shit TERFs who got caught TERFing off-site.

Glass houses/rocks.

Not exactly a mind-blowing revelation, though, that some here aren't quite the social justice purists they present themselves as. Such is the nature of the Internet.

I posted something about him a few times on DU2 and here, I think. As soon as I saw the name in the "My Subscriptions" tab, I knew. There are so many like him who risked their own lives to save Jews and others from certain death. He is a hero by any definition.

I ran across the pic and found the story on the Jewish Virtual Library pretty amazing and inspiring.

That is amazing shit there. So easy for a man to just stay home, keep his head down, be satisfied with the mundane tasks of earning a living and raising healthy kids. Some will just not relent.

Bravo
