Nobel Peace Prize Nominee
 

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

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 also 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 were placed into foster family homes or adopted

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

She LOST.

BS politics wins again.:mad: How sad.

Inspiring story. It would have been nice for her to get the award, but in truth, that's probably the last thing on earth that people of her caliber give a hoot about.

She cared about the kids not some trophy.

Very good Buzz. I agree 100%.

Warren, Amazing story. Thanks for posting it. Rest In Peace Irena.

:)

Warren,

Great post. We need to hear of more people like her and less like Gore who bought the Nobel Prize. There a lot of unknown heroes out there that have done more to help mankind than all of the politicians in the world put together. Keep posting them as you find them as it at least shows there is and was some decency left in the human race.

Ron :)
