Frank 23 | 1,183 27 Jan 2008 / #1I watched a moving programme tonight about a single Polish Jewish family who had lived in Warsaw and survived the entire length of the war despite a litany of deprivation, enforced exile for the father, internal exile in the Warsaw Ghetto, a term in a concentration for the mother and several years separation for the the children.Based on the last aspect I did a search on the order of nuns called the Sisters of the Family of Mary, who systematically and deliberately saved hundreds of Jewish children.I then found this link for this lady....Irena Sendler, whom I think should be given international recognition. Its always humbling to read such stories and I feel relieved that such people have walked the face of this earth.zionism-israel.com/israel_news/2007/12/irena-sendler-polish-schindler.htmlOne word......respect.
