Vignette-Fly On Eagles Wings
From ghetto where they were so badly used
Irene,saved over two thousand Jews-
She 'spirited' children out & away
Until the Gestapo had their final say
Ending Irene's war disabled & abused
Irene Sendler 1910-2008 a Polish heroine.Her actions went unrecognised until
awarded the Order of the White Eagle in 2003 and was nominated for the Nobel
Peace Prize 2007(the one awarded to Al Gore).In her last years she was nursed
by one of the children she had saved from the ghetto fifty years earlier.
