 Polish Holocaust hero dies at 98.

With 9000 dead from an earthquake in China today and tens of thousands dead in Myanmar - whose government could have saved many of them but didn't - it's important to me to see and remember people like this. When you see just how little it takes for nine or ten thousand people to disappear from the earth it's good to remember who have fought hard to save lives and succeeded.

Thank you for that link. It made me feel better about today.

That article not only gave me chills but made me cry...

Also it's amazing the differences in people...

I mean we can go from stories about the crazy evil Austrian man to this lovely, amazing woman. Of course it's sad because people will be spreading the word about the other man and not about people like this woman.

Did you notice that hardly anyone knew who she was or what she had done until a few years ago when a group of girls from Kansas wrote a play about her? She could easily have shouted her accomplishment from the rooftops and been worshipped wherever she went, but she never cared about fame, never sought to be remembered for what she had done.

I think (well not just think. It clearly stated it in the article) that knowing that she was able to help 2500 children was enough. Especially considering how many people are alive now today because of that. I mean, how many of them had children and grandchildren, and great grandchildren by now?

Indeed.
