We got this email, and wanted to share:

Irena Sendler
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’ … She KNEW what the Nazi’s plans were for the Jews, (being German.) Irena smuggled infants out in the bottom of the 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 of doing this, she managed to smuggle out and save 2500 kids/infants. She was caught, and the Nazi’s broke both her legs, arms and beat her severely. 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 had been gassed. Those kids she helped got placed into foster family homes or adopted. |
Recently, Irena was up for the Nobel Peace Prize … She was not selected.
Powerful message, especially the “cartoon.” Let us never forget!
63 years later
In MEMORIAM - 63 YEARS LATER
Please read the little cartoon carefully, it’s powerful.
Then read the comments at the end.
I’m doing my small part by forwarding this message.
I hope you’ll consider doing the same.
In Memoriam
It is now more than 60 years after World War II in Europe ended. This e-mail is being sent as a memorial chain, in memory of the 20 million Russians, 10 million Christians, 6 million Jews and 1,900 Catholic priests who were murdered, massacred, raped, burned and starved with many of the world’s people looking the other way! And let’s not forget the many homosexuals, Soviets, disabled, gypsies, ets that were also victims.
Now, more than ever, with extremist Muslims claiming the Holocaust to be ‘a myth,’ it’s imperative to make sure the world never forgets, because Muslim extremists are trying to do it again.

Euthanasia is legal in Belgium only with the permission of the patient, and has to be done by a doctor. Legal since 2002, it is said to account for 2% of all deaths annually. A recent disturbing study found that 120 of 248 nurses surveyed admitted that they had taken part in cases involving euthanasia without the consent of the patients. Nurses indicated that they participated in the euthanasia process even though they were not doctors and permission was not obtained. Oftentimes, the study showed that doctors delegated the process of fatal drug administration to the nurses, showing negligence on the part of doctors and nurses.
The results of this study raise serious questions regarding not only the ramifications of legalizing euthanasia, but also the effectiveness of the basic health insurance coverage provided to Belgium’s citizens by their government. Without accountability and internal controls, it seems that some healthcare practitioners have been granted the power to “assume” that people want to die. More information about Belgium’s mandatory healthcare insurance can be found here: http://www.belgium.be/en/health/healthcare_costs/.
