Irena Sendler
Posted 13th July 2009
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 it and reunited the family. Most had been
gassed. Those kids 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 a slide show on Global Warming.
