 ðŸ‡µðŸ‡±WWII uncovered: Honouring Irena Sendler: Heroine of the Children of Warsaw.



“We all have to ask ourselves, "What would I have done?"...."Every child saved with my help is the justification of my existence on this Earth, and not a title to glory." - Irena Sendler


"While under the employment of the Welfare Department of the Warsaw Municipality, Irena Sendler who served as a social worker, managed to obtain a permit from the municipality that enabled her to enter the Warsaw ghetto to inspect the sanitary conditions. Once inside the ghetto, she established contact with activists and began to help them. When the Council for Aid to Jews (Zegota) was established, Irena Sendler became one of its main activists. The Council was created in fall 1942, after 280,000 Jews were deported from Warsaw to Treblinka."


"Records show that Sendler's team of some 20 people saved nearly 2,500 children from the Warsaw Ghetto between October 1940 and April 1943."


According to the The World Holocaust Remembrance Center: "Under the pretext of inspecting the ghetto's sanitary conditions during a typhoid outbreak, Sendler and her assistants went inside in search of children who could be smuggled out and given a chance of survival by living as Catholics. Babies and small children were smuggled out in ambulances and in trams, sometimes wrapped up as packages. Teenagers escaped by joining teams of workers forced to labor outside the ghetto. They were placed in families, orphanages, hospitals or convents. In hopes of one day uniting the children with their families — most of whom perished — Sendler wrote the children's real names on slips of paper that she kept at home."


On October 19, 1965, Yad Vashem recognized Irena Sendler as Righteous Among the Nations. Among the many decorations Sendler received were the Gold Cross of Merit granted her in 1946 for the saving of Jews and the Order of the White Eagle, Poland's highest honour, awarded late in Sendler's life for her wartime humanitarian efforts.


Irena Sendler passed away on May 12, 2008 at the age of 98 years old. She lies in rest at Cmentarz PowÄ…zkowski in Warsaw Poland. Lest We Forget.

SICKENING: The shocking moment 'cheating' woman is STRIPPED and BEATEN in broad daylight THIS is the shocking moment a woman accused of sleeping with a married man was stripped naked and BEATEN in broad daylight. Lin Yao Li was ambushed by four women as she walked home from the shops in the Chinese city of Puyang. As Lin's attackers pulled her to the floor they ripped off her clothes while punching and kicking her repeatedly in the breasts and groin.

moments before her execution.

Amanda, moments before her execution, whispers words that stun witnesses and unravel lies.  Amanda, a loving mother, had been wrongly accused of kidnapping and murdering Judge Samuel Turner's daughter, Olivia.  The trial had been swift and brutal, with public sentiment against her, and her protests of innocence had fallen on deaf ears.  One rainy afternoon, Amanda is visited by Judge Turner himself, who delivers a bitter tirade.   However, Amanda remains silent, and during his speech, a memory resurfaces, giving her a sudden clarity.  She remembers a detail from the day of the crime that she had overlooked, a mention of Turner's grandparents' farm.  This realization brings a spark of hope, and Amanda wonders if Emily, her own daughter, could still be alive, hidden away where no one had thought to look. Amanda, who is on death row for a crime she maintains she didn't commit, makes a surprising revelation during her execution.  With a newfound deter...
