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 the 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 of doing this, she managed to smuggle out and save 2500 kids/infants. She was caught, and the Nazi's broke both her legs, 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 in order to reunite the family; most had been gassed. Those kids she helped got placed into foster family homes or adopted. Recently, Irena was up for the Nobel Peace Prize ... She was not selected, but Al Gore and Barack Obama were. Al Gore won for a slide show on Global Warming and Barack Obama won for a speech on peace. I guess the world forgot!
Please read the little cartoon carefully, it's powerful.
In MEMORIAM - 63 YEARS LATER
It is now more than 60 years after World War II in Europe ended. I am posting this in memory of the 20 million Russians, 10 million Christians, 6 million Jews and 1,900 Catholic priests who were murdered, massacred, raped, burned and starved with many of the world's people looking the other way!
Now, more than ever, with extremist Muslims claiming the Holocaust to be 'a myth,' it's imperative to make sure the world never forgets, because Muslim extremists are trying to do it again. I'm doing my small part by posting this message. I hope you'll consider doing the same.
REMINDER: Be sure to read the little cartoon carefully, it's powerful. Then reread these ending comments. I'm doing my small part by posting this message. I hope you'll consider doing the same.
