REMEMBER THIS WOMAN!!!

Irena Sendler
Died 12 May 2008 (aged 98)
Warsaw , Poland


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 Nazis' 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 children).


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 infants' noises. During her time of doing this, she managed to smuggle out and save 2500 children/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 who may have survived it and to re-unite the families.
Most had been gassed. Those children she helped got placed into foster family homes or adopted.


Last year Irena was up for the Nobel Peace Prize. She was not selected.


President Obama won one year before becoming President for his work as a community organizer for ACORN and Al Gore won also --- for a slide show on Global Warming.

Absolutely fantastic servant for the club, went through an unimaginably horrific time with his daughter yet still has AFC blood pumping through his veins.

Absolute gent. Lucky to have met him on a couple of occasions and he stopped for a chat and a photo and just had time for everyone. Seemed very humble and genuine too. Great bloke. Gooner Legend.

Agree again...met him at one of my first Arsenal games and he signed my programme.

Better than Wenger who didn't even have his own pen and was quite surly!

I met him at the members play on the pith event a few years ago, he was loving it. Spent the whole day chatting to everyone and gave out the medals at the end.

Arsenal through and through

I cannot agree more with the comments made about Bob Wilson. One of life's true gentlemen. The Willow foundation is a cause to support too.

Thanks for that post OBG, re Irena Sendler. I had never heard of her but being a frequent visitor to Israel I was shaken at the images portrayed at Yad Vashem, the National Holocaust Memorial outside Jerusalem. Anyone that contributed to saving souls from the Nazis is all good by me mate.

I like you already but do the right thing today.

We know what you are!

The ref at Shite Hart Lane this evening, 3 tiny tott goals ruled out - top man

Gilles Grimandi.

The other day I randomly remembered him hacking down Edgar Davids in front of an empty net at DB10's testimonial, and the pen being missed. Couldn't stop laughing.

That heroic woman deserves a mention in the "good guys" thread.

A more accurate(?) version of her exploits is here....http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituar ... ndler.html

There are so many people who have done extremely brave things in times of war/conflict....maybe there should be a separate thread for tributes to these people. They are not just "good guys". They are true heroes/heroines. And there are thousands of them.

Amen. My favourite tackle/foul/assault ( ) of all time. He wasn't letting a scummer claim the first ever goal at the new stadium. End of.

"Where you going motherfucker? Huh?"

CHOP!
