During WWII,
Irena, got permission to work in the Warsaw ghetto, as a Plumbing/Sewer
specialist.
She had an
'ulterior motive'. As a German she KNEW what the Nazi's plans were for the Jews.
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.
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.
President Obama won one year
before becoming President for his work as a community organizer for ACORN
and Al Gore won also --- for a slide show on Global
Warming.
Irene Died in Warsaw May 12,2008 at the age of 98
