Good thing for the Hallmark Hall of Fame or few would know of her tremendous courage. The new generations are already beginning to forget the Holocaust. We need to be reminded so that we don't go that way again. <br /><br />So many other countries have gone through holocausts, ethnic cleansing, etc. in the recent past. Maybe they have become complacent as well, or never cared about the value of life and personal freedom in the first place. We need to keep moving forward, and remember.Alexandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12356420873078531863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-55380036679737838712009-04-24T20:29:00.000-08:002009-04-24T20:29:00.000-08:00That is completely infuriating.

This woman was recognized by Yad Vashem along with hundreds of others who risked their lives to save Jews in the Holocaust. The fact that Al Gore won a Nobel Peace Prize in the same year that this woman was nominated does not bother me one bit and is inconsequential. The Kansas school children who brought this woman's story to light are to be commended.Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06614890555110819353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-31528695138630721512009-04-21T00:36:00.000-08:002009-04-21T00:36:00.000-08:00Tracy, Irene was officially recognized as a "Right...Tracy, Irene was officially recognized as a "Righteous Gentile" (the term used for those non-Jews who risked everything to save Jews) by Yad Vashem, Israel's official Holocaust Martyrs' and Heroes' Remembrance Authority on October 19, 1965.
