Bob Barney-We are re-running this story because you must WAKE UP! This woman was passed over by the Noble Peace Committee in favor of AL GORE, the crook that is trying to rob your hard earned dollars in a global warming tax scheme hoax! Now Donald Trump has asked the Committee to remove his prize! We say, give it to the rightful person–Irena Sendler!
The Holocaust – the systematic annihilation of six million Jews – is
a history of enduring horror and sorrow. The charred skeletons, the
diabolic experiments, the death camps, the mass graves, the smoke from
the chimneys … In 1933 nine million Jews lived in the 21
countries of Europe that would be occupied by Germany during the war.
By 1945 two out of every three European Jews had been killed by the
Nazis. 1.5 million children were murdered. This figure includes more
than 1.2 million Jewish children, tens of thousands of Gypsy children
and thousands of handicapped children.
Yet there were acts of
courage and human decency during the Holocaust – stories to bear
witness to goodness, love and compassion. This is the story of an incredible woman and her amazing gift to mankind. Irena
Sendler. An unfamiliar name to most people, but this remarkable woman
defied the Nazis and saved 2,500 Jewish children by smuggling them out
of the Warsaw Ghetto. As a health worker, she sneaked the children out
between 1942 and 1943 to safe hiding places and found non-Jewish
families to adopt them. For many years Irena Sendler –
white-haired, gentle and courageous – was living a modest existence in
her Warsaw apartment. This unsung heroine passed away on Monday May
12th, 2008. Her achievement went largely unnoticed for many
years. Then the story was uncovered by four young students at Uniontown
High School, in Kansas, who were the winners of the 2000 Kansas state
National History Day competition by writing a play Life in a Jar about
the heroic actions of Irena Sendler. The girls – Elizabeth
Cambers, Megan Stewart, Sabrina Coons and Janice Underwood – have since
gained international recognition, along with their teacher, Norman
Conard.
