a really good genre of tumblr post is the ones that claim “THIS 15-YEAR-OLD HAS DISCOVERED A CURE FOR CANCER” with no source link, and the first comment is “HIS NAME IS _______” and the second comment is “figures that so few results come up on google, no one is talking about this. spread the word!”
and then you google it and the only results are websites called like ‘youshare.buzz’ and ‘trendcatch.ly’ linking back to the original post, and the picture attached to the original post is from an unrelated huffpo article from 2011, and you google the name given and it’s a famous haitian accordionist
Sir Nicholas Winton is a humanitarian who organized a rescue operation that saved the lives of 669 Jewish Czechoslovakia children from Nazi death camps, and brought them to the safety of Great Britain between the years 1938-1939.
After the war, his efforts remained unknown. But in 1988, Winton’s wife Grete found the scrapbook from 1939 with the complete list of children’s names and photos. Sir Nicholas Winton is sitting in an audience of Jewish Czechoslovakian people who he saved 50 years before.
