Death of Irena
Sendler - a 98 year-old lady.
During World War Two 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, she was German herself. Irena smuggled infants out of the ghetto in the
bottom of the tool box she carried, for
larger children she carried
a burlap sack in the back of her truck. 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 childrens / infants noises.
During her time of doing this, she managed
to smuggle out and save 2500 childrens lives.
She was caught, and the
Nazis beat her severely, braking her
legs and arms. Irena kept
a record of all the children she smuggled
out, and kept the names 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 to reunite the families. Most of
course had been gassed. Those children she
helped got placed into foster family homes or
adopted.
Last
year Irena was up for the Nobel Peace Prize ...
She was not selected.
* Al Gore won - for the subject of Global Warming. *
GOD
BLESS HER May she rest in
Peace.
