63 years ...

Begin forwarded message:
  I don’t usually pass things on – 
but knowing some people 
with these initials on their arm – 
and sure that we must learn from 
their stories and their wisdom, 
if only to guide us in choosing 
our own path and praying for 
our children – 
I forward it to you in honour of 
their compassion.

NEVER A BAD TIME TO REMEMBER
The prize doesn't always go to the most deserving... 

Irena Sendler  
 
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..                
Powerful message, especially 
the "cartoon."
