![]() There recently was the death of a 98-year-old lady named Irena Sendler. 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 her tool box she carried, and she also 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 and course of doing this, she managed to smuggle out and save 2500 kids/infants. She was caught, and the Nazi's broke both her legs and 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, of course, had been gassed. Those kids she helped were placed into foster family homes or adopted. In 2007, Irena was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.... She LOST. Al Gore won for doing a slide show on Global Warming. Irena died May 12, 2008

Hers is a great story.
There is a group that goes around the country puting on a play about her. I link to them in a post in the thread below. http://www.thefirearmsforum.com/show...ena+Sendler%27 Art

There is no reason to apologize...I believe it to be true still , and as such...should even be posted every day and TAUGHT IN THE SCHOOLS.......................... My wife will come in and see me watching holocaust editorials...groan and say you know that stuff enough to teach it...and your watchin it again.........and of course I say ..and repeat.....It cant be watched enough...IF NOT IT WILL REPEAT.............. I have noticed the only press GORDO getting lately is bad from even the Libbies..."he has such big houses and SUV's for Green people "..............I woul dpray before I die..for the opportunity to place the "medal " where it belongs..... AND IF YOU DO NOT BELIEVE ME OR HEAR ME>>YOU BETTER READ MY MIND " and before I get through .....there will be no doubt about it fitting there..." SUch sewage crap shoul dbe repeated daily .... I leave you with this. pics removed....only my opinion....observe it or skip over ! Subject: Eisenhower Warned Us General Eisenhower Warned Us It is a matter of history that when the Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces, General Dwight Eisenhower, found the victims of the death camps he ordered all possible photographs to be taken, and for the German people from surrounding villages to be ushered through the camps and even made to bury the dead. He did this because he said in words to this effect: 'Get it all on record now - get the films - get the witnesses -because somewhere down the road of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened' This week, the UK debated whether to remove The Holocaust from its school curriculum because it 'offends' the Muslim population which claims it never occurred. It is not removed as yet. However, this is a frightening portent of the fear that is gripping the world and how easily each country is giving into it. It is now more than 60 years after the Second World War in Europe ended. This e-mail is being sent as a memorial chain, in memory of the6 million Jews, 20 million Russians, 10 million Christians, and 1,900 Catholic priests Who were 'murdered, raped, burned, starved, beat, experimented on and humiliated' while the German people looked the other way! Now, more than ever, with Iran , among others, claiming the Holocaust to be 'a myth,' it is imperative to make sure the world never forgets. This e-mail is intended to reach 400 million people! Be a link in the memorial chain and help distribute this around the world. How many years will it be before the attack on the World Trade Center ... 'NEVER HAPPENED' ...because it offends some Muslim in the U.S. ??? |

Pfft....f*** Al Gore. And you know what, I"m just about sick and f****** tired of hearing the Muslims whine and bitch and moan about being offended. Well, I'm sorry, but the Holocaust HAPPENED!!!! SIX MILLION INNOCENT JEWS WERE ERASED OFF THE FACE OF THE PLANET!!!!!!! IT'S HISTORY AND IT'S REAL!!!!!!! If the Muslims find it offensive, then they can kiss my a** because to tell you the truth, I'm starting to get offended by them always whining for special treatment because they're Muslim.

I'm not allowed to be offended by anything because I"m the reason that all other groups on the face of the planet have such a tough life. ![]()
