Read the story below and we then understand how pathetic and superficial our world has become. Remember this lady? WHAT A WOMAN cid:3lA2jhp8ksQWtmiRidYi Irena Sender Died: May 12, 2008 (aged 98) Warsaw , Poland cid:xV9KfhzAnmou9oT4UIqG During WWII, Irena, 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. cid:UFg77sLzFUIEZG8kMBRO During her time of doing this, she managed to smuggle out and save 2500 kids/infants. Ultimately, she was caught, however, and the Nazis 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. cid:2HPCmgi21j1n49ZLtjkH In 2007 Irena was up for the Nobel Peace Prize. She was not selected.
