These kids started the Irena Sendler Project a few years back and they continue to put on presentations called Life In a Jar to celebrate Sendler's contributions. www.bringthehope.com It’s interesting to note that much of the world would have never heard about Irena Sendler’s heroic acts if it wasn’t for a few high school students from rural Kansas.

It just shows that the Nobel Peace Prize is a bit of Leftist political posturing that has nothing to do with rewarding fundamental human decency, heroism, or true advances towards peace. Viewing the list of many winners in the last 30 years is just stomach churning. I’m with you on that last point, Mike.

What a wonderful picture of her on Wikipedia! Wikipedia also states: Sendler was a nominee for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007, but lost out to Al Gore, former Vice President of the United States. This REALLY irritates me. Gore and his cute little faux global warming movement, with its fake science, bad weather modeling, and scaremongering... beats out a genuine human heroine.
