From the page: "She listed the names of every rescued child and buried the lists in a jar, hoping that the children could be reunited with their families after the war. Mrs. Sendler listed the name and new identity of every rescued child on thin cigarette papers or tissue paper. She hid the list in glass jars and buried them under an apple tree in her friend's backyard. "

This amazing woman was up for the Nobel Peace Prize at the same time as Al Gore. I doubt she spent much time traveling aroung Europe in a private jet like Gore trying to get people to vote for her. What she did was real and truly amazing. She succeeded against all odds and never complained about her lot in life. This ladies and gentlemen is the real winner of that now useless award.

From the page: Mrs. Sendler, code name "Jolanta," smuggled 2,500 children out of the Warsaw Ghetto during the last three months before its liquidation. She found a home for each child. ... In an interview earlier this year with ABC News, Mrs. Sendler voiced some of her frustrations about how little anything has changed in the world: "After the Second World War it seemed that humanity understood something, and that nothing like that would happen again," Sendler said. "Humanity has understood nothing. Religious, tribal, national wars continue. The world continues to be in a sea of blood." But she added, "The world can be better, if there's love, tolerance, and humility." How refreshing to hear from a real Christian as opposed to our lipservice politicians.

Such an incredible story. Really makes you wonder how many remarkable women have been grossly overlooked in history.

Irena Sendler is a 97-year-old Polish woman who saved 2,500 Jewish children during the Holocaust. "She takes the crying baby into her arms, turns her back on the hysterical mother, and walks off into the night. If she's caught, she and the baby will die. "Promise me my child will live!" the mother cries desperately after her. She turns for a moment. "I can't promise that. But I can promise that if he stays with you, he will die."
