Hneykslar þetta einhvern ?

Las frétt fyrir nokkrum dögum að það hefði verið til umræðu í Bretlandi að taka þennan þátt út úr sögukennslunni, af því að þetta ylli hneykslun. Við vitum að sumir afneita þessum atburðum í dag og segja að þeir hafi ekki gerst.

Sýnir okkur kannski hversu langt raunveruleikafirringin getur teymt manninn.

Fékk þessa frásögn í tölvupósti og þetta með Nóbelsverðlaunin vakti athygli mína. Ég feitletraði það.

Það var einnig lítil myndasaga með þessari grein, en því miður tókst mér ekki að afrita hana.

  
 

Irena Sendler
There recently was a death of a 98 year-old German 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.

Last year Irena was up for the Nobel Peace Prize .... She was not selected. Al Gore won, for a slide show on Global Warming.

Powerful message, especially the "cartoon." Let us never forget!

IN MEMORIAM - 63 YEARS LATER


It is now more than 60 years after the Second World War in Europe ended This e-mail is being sent as a memorial chain, in memory of the six million Jews, 20 million Russians, 10 million Christians and 1,900 Catholic priests who were murdered, massacred, raped, burned, starved and humiliated with the German and Russian Peoples looking the other way!

Now, more than ever, with Iraq , Iran , and others, claiming the Holocaust to be 'a myth,' it's imperative to make sure the world never forgets, because there are others who would like to do it again.

vá sú hefur verið stórkostleg kona - merkilegt hvað eitthvað eins og þetta með Al Gore geti yfirskinið svona kraftaverk
