Some people simply don't receive enough credit for what they've done for others. Its wonderful and inspiring to come across someone so brave and selfless, finally given the credit she deserves. From the Boston Herald:

"Irena Sendler saved nearly 2,500 Jewish children from the Nazis, organizing a ring of 20 Poles to smuggle them out of the Warsaw Ghetto in baskets and ambulances.

The Nazis arrested her, but she didn’t talk under torture. After she survived the war, she expressed regret - for doing too little.

Lawmakers in Poland’s Senate disagreed Wednesday, unanimously passing a resolution honoring her and the Polish underground’s Council for Assisting Jews, of which her ring of mostly Roman Catholics was a part."

Congradulations Ms. Sendler, and thank you.
