Indeed Mamy !

[ummmm]

I remember seeing the event he went to surrounded by the kids he'd saved without him knowing. I was in floods of years.

odd that no one showed any interest in the story until 1989....

well you might say well no one knew ... but 600 people did ....

history being re written before out very eyes

a change from a social construct " no one gave a toss about the plight of the Jews in Europe in 1939 " over to " well they did actually"

the film about ira sendler is worth a look
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irena_Sendler

and I really give permission for 50 000 to post - "Ira who-dler ?" or " I put Ira Whatdler into google translate and it said it didnt know hahahaha"

she was a polka who was known as the polish schindler ....


O hahaha that reminds me: I must tell you
when Jerry Springer did his 'who do you think you are' prog - Jerry was born in the uK but his parents emigrated when he was 10 - he starts in London.
He asked a historian in Palmers Green - " why are you here ? "
and got the answer :
" for the same reason you are, Jerry ! King George VI gave permission for children to enter the UK when no one else did "

and jerry looked as tho his cojones were gonna fall off to be told that his personal saviour was none other than his maj....
not what he expecte At All.
