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 around 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 and after the war, she tried to locate any
parents that may have survived and tried to reunite the families. Most had been
gassed and 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 I'm doing my small part by forwarding this message. I hope you'll
consider doing the same. It is now more than 65 years since the Second World
War in Europe ended.

This message is being
sent as a memorial in memory of the 20 million Russians, 10 million Christians,
6 million Jews, 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.
This message 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
message to people you know and ask them to continue the memorial.
