Poland's greatest living person? - my nomination

I watched a moving programme tonight about a single Polish Jewish family who had lived in Warsaw and survived the entire length of the war despite a litany of deprivation, enforced exile for the father, internal exile in the Warsaw Ghetto, a term in a concentration for the mother and several years separation for the the children.

Based on the last aspect I did a search on the order of nuns called the Sisters of the Family of Mary, who systematically and deliberately saved hundreds of Jewish children.

I then found this link for this lady....Irena Sendler, whom I think should be given international recognition. Its always humbling to read such stories and I feel relieved that such people have walked the face of this earth.

One word......respect.

Wałęsa

I think Frank was trying to create a serious thread.

As in Lech?

what's not serious about Lech?

Sendler was a nominee for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007, but lost out to Al Gore, the former Vice-President of the United States.

Just goes to show what a farce the Prize is.
