From our inbox: a tribute to Irena Sendler and victims of the Holocaust

Remember THIS WOMAN

Irena Sendler 
Died 12 May  2008 (aged 98)
Warsaw , Poland

Look at this woman - Let us never forget!
The world hasn't just become wicked...it's  always been wicked.
The prize doesn't always go to the most  deserving.

During WWII, Irena,  worked in the Warsaw ghetto, as a social worker. 

She had an 'ulterior  motive'. 

She KNEW what the Nazi's plans were  for the Jews (being German). 

Irena smuggled  children out of the Warsaw Ghetto.  There are five recorded uses of how she smuggled the children out including:  using an ambulance, a child could be taken out hidden under the stretcher; escape through the courthouse; a child could be taken out using the sewer pipes or other secret underground passages; a trolley could carry out children hiding in a sack, in a trunk, a suitcase or something similar; and if a child could pretend to be sick or was actually very ill, it could be legally removed using the ambulance.

She used a dog on a few a the rescue missions.

During her time of doing this, she managed to  smuggle out and save 2500 children/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 children she helped got placed into foster family homes or  adopted. 

In 2007, Irena was nominated for the Nobel  Peace Prize. 
She was not selected.   She lost to Al Gore who won for a slide show on Global Warming.

President Obama won one year before becoming  President for his work as a community organizer for ACORN 

In MEMORIAM - 63 YEARS  LATER  

We're doing our 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!
 
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.
