This is the story of an amazing Catholic woman during WW2. Simply amazing! She lost the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007 to none other than Al Gore. My question is.....WHY?

This is the link to a site dedicated to her memory.

I wonder whether she has a jewish blood. If she hasn't, that is even more wonderful for a non-jewish woman to save thousands of innocent young jewish. Even if she is a jewish, she has done a splendid thing for the love of God and worthy to be remembered forever. I am sure the families of those who had been saved by her were much thankful to be made alive and continue their generation until today by her loving deed. May she rest in peace and be with the Lord, Jesus.

She was 100%, like thousands of other Poles who risked having their families shot on the spot for helping any Jew. Read some history, and you will be truly amazed about what happened.

“Żegota is the story of extraordinary heroism amidst unique depravity – compelling in its human as well as historical dimensions. It is a particularly valuable addition to our understanding of the many facets of the Holocaust because Żegota as an organized effort was tantamount to ‘Schindler’s List’ multiplied a hundredfold.” ― Zbigniew Brzeziński

She has really full of God's love for any mankind in her heart. Such a genuine love. Praise the Lord.

But the Nazis became aware of Irena's activities, and on October 20, 1943 she was arrested, imprisoned and tortured by the Gestapo, who broke her feet and legs. She ended up in the Pawiak Prison, but no one could break her spirit. Though she was the only one who knew the names and addresses of the families sheltering the Jewish children, she withstood the torture, that crippled her for life, refusing to betray either her associates or any of the Jewish children in hiding. Sentenced to death, Irena was saved at the last minute when Zegota members bribed one of the Gestapo agents to halt the execution. She escaped from prison but for the rest of the war she was pursued by the Nazis.

It looks like a correction to the post previous which should have read:
