HEROES: IRENA SENDLER whom survived during the Holocaust in the Warsaw Ghettos of Poland, saved 2500 JEWISH CHILDREN
by Jane Fairchild on Thursday, June 16, 2011 at 7:07am
This ia A STORY ABOUT AN UNTOLD HERO... IRENA SENDLER whom survived during the Holocaust in the ghettos of Warsaw Poland. She saved over 2500 jewish children.... One person whom has the courage can save 2500 human beings.... may we all learn from this kind of courage.On May 12, 2008 - This earth lost a precious courageous woman of God.... Irena Sendler, that this world is not even worthy to compare. May we REMEMBER - TRUE HEROES on this earth.... and Irena Sendler was one of those HEROES (and angels of God) on this earth... In 2007, the NOBEL PEACE PRIZE did not even recognize a true HEREO... but chose instead a FOOL on this earth...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 bottom 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.
In 2007 Irena Sendler was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize - but she was not chosen for this prize. Instead the Nobel Peace Prize was granted to: Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) , Albert Arnold (Al) Gore Jr. (for a slide show on Global Warming) - which is a FRAUD AND A LIE.
In 2009 this Nobel Peace Prize was granted to: Barack H. ObamaPresident Obama won one year before becoming President for his work as a community organizer for ACORN - which became a CORRUPT USA GOVERNMENT AGENCY....Our WORLD chose Al Gore for Global Warming for this Nobel Peace Price - which is a FRAUD and a LIE... and has done nothing in helping people...Our WORLD chose Barack H. Obama for his work a a community organizer for ACORN - which again was a FRAUD and a LIE - and this did not do anything in helping people...
Irena Sendler should be the one whom should be recognized for helping to rescue and save people.... but yet our WORLD would rather choose the fools of this earth rather than the TRUTH.... This NOBEL PEACE PRIZE should never belong to people that do FRAUD ACTIONS and whom are liars and whom have DONE NOTHING FOR HUMAN BEINGS.... For the people that the NOBEL PEACE PRIZE chooses - it would not surprise me that they would give this NOBEL PEACE PRIZE to someone even like Hitler (For this is how IGNORANT this organiztion is within this world.)...

Warsaw, Poland Occupation Social worker, humanitarian Religion Roman Catholic ...
Irena Sendler (néeKrzyżanowska, commonly referred to as Irena Sendlerowa in Poland; 15 February 1910 – 12 May 2008)[1] was a Polish Catholic social worker who served in the Polish Underground and the Żegota resistance organization in German-occupied Warsaw during World War II. Assisted by some two dozen other Żegota members, Sendler saved 2,500 Jewish children by smuggling them out of the Warsaw Ghetto, providing them with false documents, and sheltering them in individual and group children's homes outside the Ghetto.[2]...
Early life ...
Sendler was born as Irena Krzyzanowski on 15 February 1910 in Warsaw. Her father, Stanislaw Krzyzanowski, was a physician. Sendler sympathised with Jews from childhood. Her father died in February 1917 of typhus contracted while treating patients his colleagues refused to treat. Many of those patients were Jews. After his death, Jewish community leaders offered to pay for Sendler's education. She opposed the ghetto-bench system that existed at some prewar Polish universities and as a result was suspended from Warsaw University for three years.[3] ...

Jewish children in the Warsaw Ghetto ...
In December 1942, the newly created Żegota (the Council to Aid Jews) nominated her (by her cover name Jolanta[4]) to head its children's section. As an employee of the Social Welfare Department, she had a special permit to enter the Warsaw Ghetto to check for signs of typhus, something the Nazis feared would spread beyond the Ghetto.[5] During these visits, she wore a Star of David as a sign of solidarity with the Jewish people and so as not to call attention to herself.
She cooperated with the Children's Section of the Municipal Administration, linked with the RGO (Central Welfare Council), a Polish relief organization that was tolerated under German supervision. She organized the smuggling of Jewish children out of the Ghetto, carrying them out in boxes, suitcases and trolleys.[2] Under the pretext of conducting inspections of sanitary conditions during a typhoid outbreak, Sendler visited the Ghetto and smuggled out babies and small children in ambulances and trams, sometimes disguising them as packages.[6] She also used the old courthouse at the edge of the Warsaw Ghetto (still standing) as one of the main routes for smuggling out children.[citation needed] ...
The children were placed with Polish families, the Warsaw orphanage of the Sisters of the Family of Mary, or Roman Catholic convents such as the Little Sister Servants of the Blessed Virgin Mary Conceived Immaculate[7] at Turkowice and Chotomów. Sendler cooperated very closely with social worker and catholic nun, mother provincial of Franciscan Sisters of the Family of Mary - Matylda Getter. She rescued between 250-550 Jewish children in different education and care facilities for children in Anin, Białołęka, Chotomów, Międzylesie, Płudy, Sejny, Vilnius and others.[8] Some children were smuggled to priests in parish rectories. She buried lists of their real names in jars in order to keep track of their original and new identities. Żegota assured the children that, when the war was over, they would be returned to Jewish relatives...
In 1943, Sendler was arrested by the Gestapo, severely tortured, and sentenced to death. Żegota saved her by bribing German guards on the way to her execution. She was left in the woods, unconscious and with broken arms and legs.[2] She was listed on public bulletin boards as among those executed. For the remainder of the war, she lived in hiding, but continued her work for the Jewish children. After the war, she dug up jars containing the 2,500 children's identities and attempted to find the children and return them to their parents.[10] However, almost all of their parents had been killed at the Treblinka extermination camp or had otherwise gone missing...

Also featured are three of Sendler's co-workers and several of the Jewish children they saved.

This is the first historical documentary made outside Poland to record the true story of Irena Sendler and the daring conspiracy of women"[2]" who worked with her to save the children of the Warsaw ghetto. Skinner recorded over 70 hours of interview material for the film and spent seven years consulting archives, historical experts and eyewitnesses in the US and Poland to uncover many unknown details about their operation. The film's US broadcast premiere is scheduled for May 2011. It will air on all PBS stations nationwide through PBS affiliate KQED Presents. DVD distribution by LOGTV, Ltd at [3]. ...

Tony says: “What intrigues me about her courage is that she had no weapons or shields to defend herself with. Her acts were by courage and heart alone – and motivated by a love of humanity”. The poetic imagery shines brightly: “Through crosses from stars…” - a reference to the church sited on the border of the Warsaw ghetto through which children were smuggled. “She was Irena, calm and serene and she was Jolanta (her Resistance code name) through rubble and screams”. All this – added to a very fine melody – has created a magnificent and memorable song." A video of the song is available. ...

During the German occupation of Poland, Sendler lived in Warsaw (prior to that, she had lived in Otwock and Tarczyn while working for urban Social Welfare departments). As early as 1939, when the Germans invaded Poland, she began aiding Jews. She and her helpers created over 3,000 false documents to help Jewish families, prior to joining the organized Żegota resistance and the children's division. Helping Jews was very risky—in German-occupied Poland, all household members risked death if they were found to be hiding Jews, a more severe punishment than in other occupied European countries.
