This story crossed my desk a few days ago.
As I did further research the ultimate injustice of it breaks my heart. I found myself sitting in front of my computer screen weeping. This behavior is not something I do often.
If anyone deserved the Nobel Peace Prize this woman did the fact she did not have that honor bestowed upon her so fits into how the world functions today … I could not help sharing my thoughts with those of you who visit this blog.
Daily we are faced with the open lack of ethics and moral behavior in our government.
THE WORLD has lost its way along with our own government.
It might be the chicken and egg theory.
Her story Irena Sendlerowa 1910-2008
There recently was a death of a 98 year old lady named Irena.
During WWII, Irena, got permission to work in the Warsaw Ghetto, as a Health specialist.
She had an ulterior motive…
She KNEW what the Nazi’s plans were for the Jews, (being German).
Irena smuggled infants out of the ghetto in the bottom of her tool box that she carried, 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. She was sentanced to death. The polish underground bribed guards to release her and she went underground until after the war ended.
Irina kept a record of the names of all the kids she smuggled out, and kept them in a glass jar, buried under an apple tree in the 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 got placed into foster family homes, or adopted.
In 2007 Irena was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.
She LOST and Al Gore won instead, for a slide show on Global Warming.
My thoughts:
Irena Sendler was a woman of great courage, love and sacrifice. In the worst of times she risked her LIFE for others. Because of her … 2,500 human beings were given a second chance at life. Who knows how that paying forward of 2,500 children has further advanced our world today.
Irena is gone, she and her deeds will not be forgotten in the annals of history. She has a spirit and light that lives on in the hearts of some men and women still in the world.
That is deserving of the Nobel Peace Prize.
Irena is the true winner … the world is a winner because of her time on earth.
On the other hand we have the prize winner Al Gore.
He has done what for this united states and HUMANITY?
ZERO, NADA, NOTHING!
His personal mission in life is fame, fortune and money.
NONE of those does he deserve … however he has achieved them anyway.
His so called achievements:
- He was vice president to Bill Clinton (this was not out of the goodness of his heart he was paid excedeenly well)
- He wrote a book (anyone today can do that and be paid well)
- He starred in a 2006 documentary. (wow that was really important … and paid well)
- Won a grammy for his audio book on the documentary. (big deal? … NOT BIG ENOUGH FOR THE NOBLE PRIZE … SORRY!)
- 24 year politition (over paid service to the country … still no big deal)
To boil it down … what has Al Gore done to sacrifice himself to anyone other than himself?
ZERO, NADA, NOTHING!
What true impact has Al Gore himself made on/for humanity?
Same answer ZERO, NADA, NOTHING!
