Al Gore receiving a Nobel Prize over Irena Sendler is absolutely
ludicrous! Irena was such a humanitarian. What has Al Gore
really done? Also in my opinion there is no "Global Warming"
This in nature taking her course.

Kudos to Miker Martin's comment. This woman was truly selfless. Her quote to the Polish Parliament speaks volumes "Every child saved with my help is the justification of my existence on this Earth, and not a title to glory".

This is why the Nobel Prize nominations are suppose to be an anonymous process. What Ms. Sendler did during the War was an act of outstanding bravery. Her work may have saved up to 2,500 lives. The work the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change did in 2007 may save the world.

If Gore was any semblance of a man, he would have promptly rejected the Nobel prize and deferred to the more humane and deserving Irena Sendler.

What an incredible injustice, she deserves two peace prizes,

al gore and his tax creating HOAX deserved to be smuggled into the camps...

Irena is truly one of the world's most beautiful people. I have only heard about this amazing woman today. I am touched by her wonderful deeds and I have vowed to share her story to all my friends so that we can all try to make a difference. The world is a better place because of Irena.

What an inspiration Irena is to the entire world and for generations to come. I can't believe the Noble Peace Prize was given to Al Gore over her. This woman has more integrity and goodness in her little finger than Gore has in his entire body.

Patti, USA/UK,

I first read about this woman during the nobel peace prize of 2007 - in which she was nominated, but it went, absurdly to Gore instead. I now send on news about her to friends and family whenever it comes up. She was a wonderful human being, a beacon of humanity and hope. Rest in Peace.

may her soul rest in eternal peace

Peter Winterton, Perth,

God bless her, what an example and inspiration to us all.

Irena is saint of all humanity.

may God bless her sweet soul.RIP Irena Sendler

Homage to this Righteous and Brave Atheist Hero! Except her recent years she lived fargotten by the world. Whole life working hard she did not claim glory to herself. She was embarassed by the nomination to Nobel Peace Prize. Her courageous life should become famous, at least after her death.

Jaroslaw F., New York, USA

The bravery of this woman living in this satanistic Germany will never be equaled. It was a sad time for the entire world. Neither the nations of the world, nor religious entities had the courage or humanity to intervene even though they new what was happening. What a wonderful woman!!

I'm equally encouraged by the story of this fantastic woman and her deeds as outraged of the handing over of the Nobel Peace Price to Al Gore instead of her...what where they thinking?

KM, Antibes, France

What an amazing woman. Though she was one of the many Poles who disregarded the possible death penalty from the Nazi regime and despite it helped Jews, she is to be particularly admired. A fragile woman who didn't not fear repression from the powerful enemy. R.I.P. and be rightly honored, Irena

Victor, Bristol, England

Just take a look at some of her pictures that were taken when she was over 90. Her smiling face was so young because of that smile. She was a gift to whole humanity. Rest in peace, Mrs. Irena.

We celebrate footballers as heroes, which means, unfortunately, that the word has lost all meaning. This word should be reserved for the special few. Irena Sendler should have been celebrated throughout her life, not at the end of it. What an amazing woman.

Alex C, London,

She was of the stuff that the Christian martyrs are made of. I pray the Church in Poland expends even a fraction of the effort currently (and rightly) going into the cause for the canonisation of John Paul II to ensure that this wonderful woman is also recognised as a saint by the universal Church.

Niall Sullivan, Chester,

If only the world had more people like Irena Sendler today, it would be a much better place. Humble, graceful and humane, what a wonderful lady God blessed this earth with. She chose little of self, profits, fame and riches, instead she gave of her very being to so many. Rest in Peace.

Mark Harris, Swansea, Wales

Less we forget. So many of our elderly generation and their sacrifice and contributions to the lives of others. Rest in Peace

Paul Thomas, Limassol, Cyprus

I am weeping as i read this orbituary about this wonderful lady.

Frank Hartry, Amanzimtoti, South Africa

I went to the former ghetto in Warsaw in 1992 and one can still see the bullet holes in the walls. This lady has a place booked in heaven first class. She should become a saint in the very near future !!!!

A Polish Gladys Ayleward in many respects !!!

Ian Payne, WALSALL,

Wow.
