A Lady Named Irena
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 her 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 and course of doing this, she managed to smuggle out and
aave 2500 kids/infants.
She was caught, and the Nazi's broke both her legs, and 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 of course had been gassed.
Those kids she helped got placed into foster family homes, or adopted.
Last year Irena was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize....
She LOST.
Al Gore won, for worrying people with a slide show on Global Warming.

If the ignorant America-hating peanut farmer getting one didn't convince you it is worth less than zero, this should pretty much seal the deal.

Glad you posted this! I have never heard of her either. and, Yassar Arafat got a NPP, what does that tell ya?

This story, in a sane world, would be known to all. I have a tear in my eye.
I hear a story like this and then go look in the mirror and ask myself, "who are you?".

I would not sully this saint with a scummy award from the nobel people. She has received a far glorious award the moment she passed away.

Wow! Overpowering. Thanks for posting this.

Thank you so much mama! I didn't see those when I posted this. You deserve a pat on the back (along with bijou) for making those posts first. Truly an amazing woman. Word fails me.

No kidding! If I were Al Gore I would have had to decline the award and then proceed to tear the judges new ones for being such idiots. Then again if I were Al Gore I would have gone quietly into a dark closet in 2000 and stayed there forever.
