WHAT A GREAT LADY
Recently, a 98 year-old Polish lady named Irena Sendler died.
During WWII, she got permission to work in the Warsaw Ghetto, as a
Plumbing/Sewer specialist but she had an ulterior motive. She KNEW of the
Nazi’s plans for the Jews. Irena smuggled infants out in the bottom of the
tool box she carried and, in the back of her truck, she had a burlap sack
for the larger children. She had a dog in the back of the truck that she
trained to bark when the Nazi soldiers let her in and out of the ghetto.
The soldiers wanted nothing to do with the dog and the barking covered the
noise of the children.
She managed to smuggle out and save 2,500 children
before she was caught; the Nazis broke both her legs and her arms and
beat her severely.
Irena kept a record of the names of all the children that she smuggled out
which she kept in a glass jar buried under a tree in her back yard.
After the War, she tried to locate any parents that had survived and
reunited the families. Most, of course, had been gassed but she helped those
children to be placed into foster family homes or adopted.
In 2007, Irena was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize but was not selected.
Al Gore won – for a slide show on Global Warming!
LET’S SEND THIS ONE AROUND THE WORLD -
GOD BLESS HER and may she rest in Peace.
