sjows how wortless that award is.
The Fuzzy Puppy of the VRWC. I've been usurped!
but it still hacks me off.
I am reading a great book on the Polish underground during WWII.
A lot of brave people died. Glad she and others somehow made it through.
by Leon Uris, was my introduction as a teenager to the Warsaw Ghetto uprising. Some critics say it is overwrought and romanticized, but how can you tell that story dispassionately?
God bless you Irena Sendler.
you were just channeling a good polish accent to accompany the story.

Now also found at The Minority Report
an inner goodness that's impossible not to notice.
I am always thankful for people like this, not just for the good works they do, they inspire us all to be better people.

Thanks for this Moe. We (myself included) get bogged down in political this & that, & then we get the priviledge of such a story. The wonderful thing is that people like her exist today, & will exist as long as God has us on this earth. She was & is still a hero, someone we can aspire to be like.
as He welcomes you into your eternal reward, Mrs. Sendler.
Thank for your posting this, and thank you to Mrs. Sendler.

Thanks for this and also lets not forget that teacher from Kansas. Its amazing what teaches can accomplish and unearth when they are not teaches kids anti-American propaganda. When I was that age I was getting another lesson on how Christopher Columbus was really a genocidal racist.

She was, no doubt, endangering her life to do what she did. It makes whatever we do in our daily lives pale in comparison.
She may have died but her memory will live on in the countless retellings of her story!
I love it.

This wasn't the thread I thought I was in but I love her story as well.
Would that the world held more like her.
Godspeed.
