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."  Let us never forget! 

63 years later

In  MEMORIAM  - 63 YEARS LATER 

Please read the little cartoon carefully, it's powerful. Then read the comments 

at the end. 

I'm doing my small part by forwarding this message. I hope you'll consider 

doing the same.

It is now more  than 60 years after 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 with the German and Russian Peoples looking the other way! 

Now, more than ever, with Iraq , 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. Thanks

Al Gore won???   Not this woman???  And now Obama....I have lost all faith in the Nobel Prize being worth anything, if this woman can't win it.

It's just a big political joke, where it should mean somethign special but they have "de-Nobelized" it by giving it to Gore and Obama, Arafat (a terrorist).
