Default Female Schindler

Didn't know this:-

Irene Sendler, known to many as the “female Schindler”, rescued children and babies imprisoned in the Jewish ghetto in Warsaw, smuggling them out in bags, or through the sewers, and hiding them with friendly families around Warsaw.

Worth a read:-

'Female Schindler' Irene Sendler, who saved thousands of Jewish children, dies - Telegraph

However, this is disappointing:-

Sendler was a nominee for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007, but lost out to Al Gore, former Vice President of the United States.

Robbie Williams must have been presenting them.

Al Gore FFS!!!

Default Re: Female Schindler

I read a book last year by Mary Berg who escaped the WW2 Polish ghettoes by another route.

An optimism of the spirit survives throughout her book. I was particularly moved by the community beimg able to create educational establishments with little or no external resources. Despite the horrific conditions, there appeared to be a real thirst for learning and understanding that transcended the brutality and starvation around them.

EIS members read and weep!
