A Lady Named Irena Sendler

There recently was a death of a 98 year old lady named Irena.


During WWII, Irena, got permission to work in the Warsaw Ghetto, as a Plumbing/Sewer specialist.


She had an ulterior motive...


She KNEW what the Nazi's plans were for the Jews, (being German).


Irena smuggled infants out in the bottom of her tool box she carried, and she carried in the back of her truck a Burlap sack, (for larger kids).


She also had a dog in the back, that she trained to bark when the Nazi soldiers let her in, and out of the ghetto.


The soldiers of course wanted nothing to do with the dog, and the barking covered the kids/infants noises.


During her time and course of doing this, she managed to smuggle out and save 2500 kids/infants.


She was caught, and the Nazi's broke both her legs, and arms, and beat her severely.


Irena kept a record of the names of all the kids she smuggled out, and kept them in a glass jar, buried under a tree in her back yard.


After the war, she tried to locate any parents that may have survived it, and reunited the family.


Most of course had been gassed.


Those kids she helped got placed into foster family homes, or adopted.


Last year Irena was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize....


She LOST.



. . . . . . . Al Gore won, for doing a slide show on Global Warming.



Nobel prize sucks, if i were to ever get one i'd have a hard time accepting it but probobly would just for the money. I would than most likley give it all to charity and denounce the nobel organization.

WOW! I've never heard of her or the group she worked with. What an amazing woman. And to think that Al Gore's "Global Warming" crap beat her out of the Nobel Prize. Something is VERY wrong with the world's priorities.

more proof that nobel is a sham and not worth the TP it's written on.

The Nobel prize(s) were "invented" (for lack of a better word) because Alfred Nobel did not want to die being know as the inventor of Dynamite.
