Twitter is like a digital Id. You get everything, unfiltered and all the time: the pedantic, zany, funny, and reprehensible.

Occasionally, you’ll find something completely moving and deep. Here is one, in Ben Sprecher’s Tweet below.

I encourage you to read the NYT article in the link (or, click here). It is about heroism of the truest kind: under the radar screen and at great personal cost.

I believe my great-grandmother, grandmother, two great-aunts, and grandfather were 5 of those people, as they fled from occupied Holland through Belgium, France, Spain, and ultimately Portugal to take a boat to Surinam.

If so, I’m alive because of his bravery.#NeverAgain https://t.co/cTWIFrmxpU
