Irena Sendler

Let us never forget!

The world hasn’t just become wicked…it’s always been wicked. Sadly, the Nobel Prize doesn’t always go to the most deserving.

Irena Sendler (1910 to 2008)

Three years ago saw the 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 Nazis’ plans were for the Jews.

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 Nazis 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.

President Obama won one year before becoming President for his work as a community organizer for ACORN

and
Al Gore won also — for a slide show on Global Warming.

It is now more than 60 years after the Second World War in Europe ended.

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!

It’s imperative to make sure the world never forgets, because there are others who would like to do it again.

  1. Shads…very intriguing. You really do find interesting stories to post. Thanks to you, I learned about another angel that was on earth, Irene Sendler. What a God sent she must have been!!

  2. Irene Sendler didn’t need the Nobel Peace Prize – she was a winner in the eyes of all the children/infants she saved, and the parents she found. You’re right shads awards don’t always go to the most deserving – the people selecting the winners have ulterior motives. She is a winner in my eyes. God bless Irene Sendler!
