Common Sense Commentary: Those who forget history are destined to repeat it.
We
need to be reminded....... As General Eisenhower said at the end of WWII, in
the death camps,"We want plenty of photos so no one can ever say this did not
happen".
Remember this brave, compassionate lady?
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 Obama, won for his work as a
community organizer for ACORN.
In MEMORIAM - 65 YEARS
LATER
It is now more than 65 years since the Second World War
in Europe ended, but the Soviets continued the killing until recent
years.
In memory of the six million Jews, 20 million Russians, 10
million Christians and 1,900 Catholic priests and pastors who were murdered,
massacred, raped, burned, starved and humiliated!
Now, Iran , and
others Muslims, claim 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,
and very well may if we do not keep them from it. How? Pray and speak up and
work with those who care and are standing against this evil.
Pass it on. RB holocost
