Good Ol Al, How can he sleep at night

Tjhis speaks a lot for the whole Nobel Prize thing... It is all political most times has little to do with who deserves it... this is a very good example.

An even better read on ʽSnopes.comʼ. http://www.snopes.com/politics/war/sendler.asp



There recently was a death of a 98 year old lady named Irena (Iliana) Sendler.During WWII, Iliana, 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).Iliana smuggled infants out in the bottom of her tool box she carried and 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 period 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.Iliana 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 get placed into foster family homes, or adopted.

Last year Iliana was up for the Nobel Peace Prize..................She LOST.Al Gore won, for a slide show on Global Warming.

Good ol Al I hope you have trouble sleeping at night... Sad part is he won't. Tells you a lot about him.
