Meet Irena Sendler (1910-2008)
She was a 98 year-old Polish woman at her time of death. During World War II, Irena worked in the Warsaw Ghetto as a plumbing/sewer specialist. She dedicated herself to smuggling Jewish children out. Infants were carried in the bottom of the tool box she used and older children in a burlap sack she had in the back of her truck.
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 wanted nothing to do with the dog and the barking covered the kids’ and infants’ noises. Irena managed to smuggle out and save 2500 children during this time
She eventually was caught and the Nazis broke both her legs, arms and beat her severely. Irena kept a record of the names of all the kids she smuggled out and in a glass jar buried under a tree in her backyard. After the war, she tried to locate any parents that may have survived and reunited some of the families but most had been killed. She then helped those children get placement into foster family homes or adopted.
In 2007, Irena was up for the Nobel Peace Prize. She was not selected.
Al Gore won for presenting a slide show on Global Warming.

This is my grandmother. Maybe I’m a loving family member or a selfish bitch, but I don’t want to lose my grandmother. I can’t stand the fact that tomorrow, she might not be here. For over a month now, she’s been fighting to stay alive. Everyday she’s in more pain than she was before. I don’t want her to be in pain anymore, but I CAN’T lose her. Maybe it’d be best if she did leave us though. She wouldn’t be in this pain any longer. She wouldn’t have to worry about anything. I hope that she realizes how many people love her and what a wonderful person she is. I love my grandmother so much. ♥
Please reblog/like this photo. I want to show her the notes and show her how many people care. Pray too<3
