She was an exceptional woman who should be seen as beacon and example to people everywhere irrespective of race, creed or religion. After a long and worthy life, she passed away at the age of 98 the other day.
The Independent reports in "Pole who saved 2,500 children from the Nazis dies":
"Irena Sendlerowa, a Polish woman who smuggled thousands of children out of the Warsaw Ghetto saving them from certain death at the hands of the Nazis, has died at the age of 98.
As a social worker, she had neither the financial might nor the contact book of Oskar Schindler, to whom she is almost inevitably compared, yet she rescued almost double the number of children, about 2,500 in total. The tricks of her trade were not elaborate: tool boxes, trolleys, suitcases and old sewer pipes were used to smuggleJewish babies and toddlers out of the ghetto, undetected by the Nazis."
