We hear of compassion, courage, humanity, and caring, but sometimes our words are inadequate to describe what is best about the human spirit. So it is that we cannot find words that are sufficient to relate our gratitude for this simple woman, and our awe of what she was able to accomplish.
"In 1965, Sendler became one of the first so-called Righteous Gentiles honored by the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial in Jerusalem for wartime heroics. Poland's communist leaders at that time would not allow her to travel to Israel; she collected the award in 1983."
Rest, Noble Spirit! We are gladdened that God loved us enough to let you live among us!

  I was so carried away by the excellence of this comment, 1-2-Oscar, that I foolishly hit the "neg" button. Utterly accidental & my apologies.

    No problem. When I receive a negative vote for post like this one, I always assume that either Goppy or Tessylo has visited the thread.

      I don't think that you will ever receive negative votes from anyone for superlative comments like your opening remark, Oscar.
      This second one already pushes the envelope in a different direction.

        Of course you did receive one to your 1st comment - I should have specified intentional!

  Al Gore got her Nobel Prize.

    In the overall scheme of things, I certainly would have chosen her over Gore, too.

    I guess there are a couple of guys who think that a political demagogue is more worthy of support than an actual human rights activist who evaded death at the hands of the Nazis. She was nominated for the prize that he got and it was a travesty. Now it's too late to say "thank you" to her. On behalf of the human race, damn the Nobel Committee!
