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

Remember this lady?

Irena Sendler

Died: May 12, 2008 (aged 98)
Warsaw , Poland


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 which 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 67 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, more than ever, with  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.

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.
