A Lady  Named Irena

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 Plumbing/Sewer  specialist. She had an  ulterior motive...

Irena smuggled infants out in the bottom of her  tool box she carried, and she 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 her arms and legs.


Irena 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 got placed into foster family homes, or adopted.

Last year Irena was nominated for the Nobel Peace  Prize....

She  LOST.
Al Gore won, for doing  a slide show on Global Warming.

"Seems to me that the purpose of this is not so much to admire and support her efforts as it is to diminish Gore's. "

What efforts did Gore do but show a slideshow and proclaim that the Republicans are the problem?

I don't think that is worthy of my dog lifting his leg and tinkling on his laptop.

Hey, I hear Gore is putting together a "power point" presentation on how change your underwear more than once a day is bad for the environment!

Thats just sick, ya know, Ive been around the block, and seen a few things, I consider myself a pretty tough dude, I read a book on the Holocaust a few years ago, and there were times I had to put it down. This woman is a REAL hero. I bet she doesnt even want the nobel prize, I bet she is humble, and her prize is knowing that she saved 2500 kids from being gassed. gore is a joke, always was always will be.

Gore the "Nimrod Nazi"!Can't say he's stupid...able to suck a bunch of Nim's like himself into his asss-tradamus predictions

Ken D.: Funny you should mention me not be nominated. You are right I was not nominated and probally never will be. However, I have heard that to be nominated is easy. Supposedly, you just need a college professor to nominate you.

If this is true, she can be nominated over and over again. Jane Addams (Women's International League for Peace and Freedom) was nominated 91 times I think before she won, and then like Gore, only won half. Ghandi was nominated 4 or 5 times and never won. He happened to be nominated again just days before he was assassinated and he STILL didn't win. As of 1974, award can not be given posthumously. It wasn't just Al Gore's award to "give away" to the little old lady anyhow. He was given the award in conjunction with his work with The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. They got half of the award, he got the other half- says so right on the Nobel Prize official web site. Nice attempt at a smear though...using the little old lady angle added something special to it. LOL

"I would be ashamed if I was Al accepting that prize. I would have given it to Irena or refused it out respect to her."

I'm sure you would have. It's a wonder you weren't nominated.

Talk about Al Gore, if you must. I am sure he was not aware of the situation, with this lady. He is not aware of any other situation, manmade global warming being one of these situations. Come on give Al Gore a brake he deserved this award, in the fictitious comedy category. Oh! GOD BLESS THIS LADY, thank God we had folks like her. I am sure she could care less about an award so it is OK that Al got it because that is all he is about. Thanks Goblue

Irishiii, No she is way to young.

Can you only be nominated once? If not, I'd say she should be nominated this year
