In MEMORIAM - 63 YEARS LATER

The prize doesn't always go to the most deserving


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 bot tom 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.

Shows just what is important and just how political the prize has become.

REALLY what would be fitting would be a national holiday commerative coin or something.

I knew about this and it upset me greatly at the time.
It still upsets me. This woman put her life on the line and
saved many. Al Gore feathered his own nest.

We are a nation conducted by fools.

I think I posted last year who determines Nobel prizes.... its like 6 former politicians in Poland or some such place.......... it seems to me that they always pick those on the Council of Foreign Relations and its a "pat yourself on the back CFR" award. Krugman or Gore either one probably wouldn't help their own mother across the street unless they benefitted from it.
