Remember this lady Irena Sendler

I received this in a chain email today. I don’t participate in chain emails. But this message does need to be shared. Along with this little memorial for her, there is a message that people who really deserve praise and honours usually don’t get them. While the politically correct, having done nothing significant do.

Wikipedia has an article you may want to read: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irena_Sendler

There is also a PBS documentary program entitled “Irena Sendler, In the Name of Their Mothers”. It is available from Netflix.

Irena does not need the Peace Prize. Her reward is in heaven.

Remember this lady Irena Sendler

Died: May 12, 2008 (aged 98), Warsaw, Poland

During WWII, Irena, got permission to work in the Warsaw ghetto, as a Plumbing/Sewer specialist. She had an ulterior motive.

Irena smuggled Jewish infants out in the bottom of the tool box she carried. She also carried a burlap sack in the back of her truck, for larger kids.

Irena kept 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 of doing this, she managed to smuggle out and save 2500 kids/infants.

Ultimately, she was caught, however, and the Nazi's broke both of her legs and arms and beat her severely.

Irena kept a record of the names of all the kids she had smuggled out, in a glass jar that she buried under a tree in her back yard. After the war, she tried to locate any parents that may have survived and tried to reunite the family. Most had been gassed. Those kids she helped got placed into foster family homes or adopted.

In 2007 Irena was up for the Nobel Peace Prize. She was not selected. Al Gore won, for a slide show on Global Warming.

Later another politician, Barack Obama, won for his “extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples.” What that gobbledygook means is anybody’s guess.

In MEMORIAM – 65 YEARS LATER

It is now more than 65 years since the Second World War in Europe ended.

In memory of the six million Jews, 20 million Russians, 10 million Christians and 1,900 Catholic priests who were murdered, massacred, raped, burned, starved and humiliated!

Now, more than ever, with Iran, and others, claiming the HOLOCAUST to be 'a myth'. It’s imperative to make sure the world never forgets.  Because there are others who would like to do it again.
