The prize doesn't always go to the most deserving.

The prize doesn't always go to the most deserving. There recently was a death of a 98 year-old lady named  Irena. During WWII, Irena, got permission to work in the Warsaw Ghetto,  as a Nurse. 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 in the back of her truck. 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 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.. She  died, whilst being nursed by one of the children she saved from the gas  chamber.    It  is now more than 60 years after the Second World War in Europe ended.  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.
