A friend sent me this and though the friend is reliable, I figured that I had to check it out – and it is true:
There recently was a death of a 98 year-old lady named Irena. During WWII, Irena, got permission to work in the Warsaw Ghetto … 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.
The year Irene was up for the Nobel Peace Prize … She was not selected.
Al Gore won, for a slide show on Global Warming.
It appears this woman also saved about 500 adults, including the man she eventually married.
This is the sort of person to honor – this is what it means to show rare courage in a time of crisis and do what you can to bring light in to a dark world.
And the Nobel Committee gave the prize to a man who spoke in front of a camera for a while. Why did they do that? Because for our global leftists, making a political point is more important than doing the right thing.
