Do you remember this lady?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

           


   
    "we want  plenty of photos so no one can ever say this did  not  happen".

 
 
Remember this  lady?

 
 


 
 
Irena  Sendler

Died: May 12, 2008  (aged 98)

Warsaw,  Poland

 
 




During WWII, Irena, a Roman Catholic,  got permission to work in the Warsaw ghetto, as a  Plumbing/Sewer specialist.

 
 
She had an ulterior  motive.



Irena smuggled  Jewish infants out in the bottom of the tool box she  carried.

 
 
She also carried a  burlap sack in the back of her truck, for larger  kids.



Irena kept 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.



Ultimately, she was  caught, however, and the Nazi's broke both of her legs and  arms and beat her severely.



Irena kept a record  of the names of all the kids she had smuggled  out,

 
 
In a glass jar that  she buried under a tree in her back  yard.

 
 
After the war, she  tried to locate any parents that may have survived and  tried to reunite 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.

 
 
Al Gore won, for a  slide show on Global Warming.



Later another  politician, Barack Obama, won for his work as a community  organizer for ACORN.



In MEMORIAM - 65  YEARS LATER



I'm doing my small  part by forwarding this message. I hope you'll consider  doing the same.



It is now more than  65 years since 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!



Now, Iran, and  others, claim 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.



This e-mail is  intended to reach 40 million people  worldwide!



Join us and be a  link in the memorial chain and help us distribute it  around the world. Please send this e-mail to people you  know and ask them to continue the memorial chain.



Please don't just  delete it. It will only take you a minute to pass this  along.
