Irena Sendler
Died: May 12, 2008 (aged 98) Warsaw, Poland
During WWII, Irena, got permission to work
in the Warsaw ghetto, as a Plumbing/Sewer specialist. She had an
ulterior motive.
Irena smuggled Jewish infants out in the bottom of the tool box she
carried. She also carried a burlap sack in the back of her truck, for
larger kids.
Irena kept 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. Ultimately, she was caught, however, and the Nazi's broke
both of her legs and arms and beat her severely.
Irena kept a record of the names of all the kids she had smuggled out,
in a glass jar that she buried under a tree in her back yard.
After
the war, she tried to locate any parents that may have survived and
tried to reunite the family. Most had been gassed. Those kids she
helped got placed into foster family homes or adopted.
In 2007 Irena was up for the Nobel Peace Prize. She was not
selected. Al Gore won, for a slide show on Global Warming.
Later another politician, Barack Hussein Obama, won for his work as a
community organizer for ACORN.
In MEMORIAM - 65 YEARS LATER
I
may have seen this before, but this time it resonated. The
perfect
example of who and what Liberals are behind closed doors. Jimmy
Carter
also won the Nobel for creating lasting Middle-East peace (actually
because, like Gore, he unrelentingly trashes his own
country, which greatly pleases Euro Libs). This is a true
and poignant story, and illustrates what's
really important to today's ruling Liberals.

If it wasn't for the certainty of hell I'd have to bring some with me to the Nobel committee that made that choice.
ReplyDeleteThe Chair of the Nobel Peace Prize Committee stated that Carter was given the Nobel Prize as a "kick in the leg" to Bush. They weren't quite as open about it when they gave it to Obama but, given that the decision had to have been made before he even took office it's pretty clear that something similar was going on here.

Wow. Her story was absolutely stunning. May God bless her soul.
ReplyDeleteAnd damn alGore. And damn Uhbama. And damn the eurotrash on the Nobel Committee.
Lt. Col. Gen. Tailgunner dick
It's a crying shame what the NPP committee perceives (settles for) as greatness.
ReplyDeleteHowever....
Irena Sendler did not risk her life to save others for anything so fleeting as human recognition. Amen. And God Bless her life and memory.
The Nobel Prize is now no more valuable than a plastic trinket won in a carnival side show.
ReplyDeleteDamn the politics of the prize. Damn those that choose the winners and damn Al Gore to a tiny deserted island, with nothing but habanero peppers to eat.
At this point in time. The award has nothing to do with peace.
ReplyDeleteI wish we could simply ignore their agenda.

ReplyDeleteThe Noble committee; Ignore them, they have made themselves irrelevant.

I felt the same way when princess di was 'woman of the year' over Mother Theresa. Spoiled rich woman over the ultimate in selfless service.

Who cares what a bunch of Swedish Socialists think? Resquiat in pacem, Irena.
ReplyDeleteThat's why you are the BBitW. *clap*clap*clap*
ReplyDeleteNow what can I do to ruin the moment? Well I'm sure you haven't noticed that Apple just hosted the iPhone 5 release event. Let's go with that.
Apple does a fantastic job putting their products out to market. All the key exec's deliver finely crafted presentations with rich multimedia support. They hit all the key features. They have video of high tech machining processes. They trot out some 3rd party developers and a rock band. By the end, the entire audience is entranced. WANT WANT WANT.
And I'm right with it: MUST BUY, MUST BUY. But then they kept cutting the camera, maybe a dozen times, to one particular person in the audience. It put me right off. To bring this post full circle, can you guess who it was?
((hint: hturT tneinevnocnI))
Would that be the same wonderful fellow who put 300 million US Citizens through a month of discombobulation while pondering hanging chads and dimples?
ReplyDeleteTHAT person has the integrity and character of a carrot, and likely has a similar IQ. Boo. Hiss. Go Home.
PLUS he preaches, without allowing disconcerting facts or questions, and you must believe or you are a sinner. Sound similar to A**le Fanatics??? Hmmmmmm?
