Has anyone heard of Irena Sendler? Irena was a Polish Catholic Social Worker who in the 1930%26#039;s used her position to get into Jewish ghettos and rescue children. She was able to smuggle over 2500 children in toolboxes, suitcases, trunks, through sewers, etc. She placed these children in Christian homes and recorded their information on pieces of tissue paper and buried them in jars outside her home with hopes of one day finding them and returning them to their families. Unfortunately, nearly all of the parents had been killed and the children remained either in foster care or were placed with distant relatives. Irene was caught, questioned, tortured, had her feet and legs broken by German soldiers, but never gave up the location of the children or the bottled tissues.

In 2007, she was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for her compassion and sacrifice only to be beaten by Al Gore, who produced an opinion piece to capitalize on the gullibility of others.

She died Monday, may 12th 2008.

Wow - many of you have great responses and this truly will be a difficult choice.

I put this under Global Warming because it is sad to me that Al Gore got a %26quot;Peace Prize%26quot; for using a fear tactic with NO true, constant or undeniable science to back up his claims. He is not an advocate of peace.. what he is doing is to set himself up for political gain in the future and in the process forcing his ideas on our society and giving environmentalist groups leverage to take away our freedoms!

This S-O-B was considered more worthy of recognition over this dear, sweet soul Irena Sendler. Yes, people like her do what they do for the sake of humanity and need no recognition for their deeds. When I heard this story I wanted to make people aware so they don%26#039;t take things so seriously with all the hype and hysteria of Global Warming. I want their credibility taken away from them so they have no sway with the public.
