Guest guest Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 She save a lot of Jewish children during the war, sneaking them out of the Warsaw Ghetto and finding families to care for them. Read more below. Irena Sendler There recently was a death of a 98 year-old lady named Irena in 2008. 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. In 2007 Irena was up for the Nobel Peace Prize. She was not selected because Al Gore won, for a political slide show on Global Warming. http://www.snopes.com/politics/war/sendler.asp Did you know that the British govt. has found 8 serious flaws in his theories and has asked him repeatedly to change them and clarify them. He ignores them. He has made millions on Global Warming. 64 years later It is now more than 60 years after the Second World War in Europe ended. This e-mail is being sent as a memorial chain, in memory of the six million Jews, 20 million Russians, 10 million Christians and, 1,900 Catholic priests who were murdered, massacred, raped, burned, starved, and humiliated with the German and Russian peoples looking the other way! Now, more than ever, with Iraq, Iran, and others, claiming the Holocaust to be 'a myth,' it's imperative to make sure the world never forgets, because there are others who would like to do it again. Join us and be a link in the memorial chain and help us distribute it around the world. Visit http://www.irenasendler.org for more information on this great lady.
