question for the LJ pool of collective knowledge

What does "mensch" mean?

Take this example:

"I’d try to help anyway, because we have history. Not all of it good, but history. And I guess I’m in no position: glass house, kettle, stones, sin? And I have to admit, he’s become a mensch. Not a man, but a mensch."

It doesn't require a lot of commitment. You just show up, watch the anime, leave. They're not a very pro-active club
