2. a thought
(07.16.10)
Maybe Peter from Vienna, Austria, desecrated her grave ??
3. She deserved to win the Nobel Peace prize by her actions...
David ,   Hartford USA   (07.16.10)
instead they gave it to Obama for his words.
4. Grave desecrations
graczek ,   Maryland, USA   (07.17.10)
Although I am opposed to the existence of the state that calls itself Israel, I am yet angered by anyone who would desecrate a grave for any reason whatsoever. Hopefully the miscreants will be arrested and vigorously prosecuted. There is no call for this type of crime.

Graczek the nobel soul. He objects to the existance of Israel, and he does not condone the desecration of graves. I should add that he does not condone the desecration if the grave is of a non Jew. Otherwise, it is an open season, as he already demonstrated in his previous comments. Unlike the deceased, ,Graczek your are just an antisemite Pol ak .

And dont forget Arafat, the arch terrorist, who was also awarded the Nobel Prize...for peace??? This brave woman deserves the honer of being buried on Mt. Herzl in J'lem and a tree palnted in her name in "Righteous Souls". They can give their worthless prize to hamas and hizbollah.
7. To #5, grave desecration
graczek ,   Maryland, USA   (07.17.10)
I am sorry if I did not make myself clear, a lapse on my past. I am outraged by the desecration of ANY grave, regardless of religion. The decedent is in God's realm for judgment and out of our purview. The grace desecrator had bought himself a sure one-way ticket to Hell.

On October 19, 1965. "Yad Vashem "(the Jewish people's living memorial to the Holocaust) recognized Irena Sendler as Righteous Among the Nations. The tree in her honour stands at the entrance to the Avenue of the Righteous Among the Nations at Yad Vashem in Jerusalem. http://www1.yadvashem.org/righteous_new/sendlerova.html

You object to the existence of Israel? That's OK because I object to the existence of Poland after the Holocaust.

You object to Israel's existence, I object to anti-semites like you My grandparents were smart, the got out of Poland before your countryment had the opportunity to help the Nazi's extermiantion plan
12. # 1 Maybe better to rebury her here ,
split ,   USA   (07.18.10)
She's a Goy , remember? Not good enough to rest among Jews, according to jewish law Isn't that something?
13. No. 12 Split
NYC Girl   (07.18.10)
Isn't that something? It certainly would be...if it were true. In fact, where the hell do you think Oscar Schindler is buried, you idiot?
14. NYC Girl , sad to say : you are wrong
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (07.18.10)
Schindler is buried in the Catholic cemetery on Mount Zion . He too would have deserved to be buried at the Mount Herzl , maybe they could have a special place to bury those GREAT GENTILES . Those People are NOT Goyim [ pejorative ! ] but HUMAN GENTILES
15. #8. Birdi
A ,   Belgium   (07.18.10)
I wasn't aware she has already been honored with a tree at Yad Vashem. So someone listened to my proposal. Now to have her buried on Har Herzl. Thanks for the info.
16. A. # 15 , Belgium
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (07.18.10)
She was recognised as a Righteous long before you were maybe born , and had a tree planted in her name . Read my @ 1 . I made the proposition to rebury her at Har Herzl . Copieur !
17. No. 14 Charles
NYC Girl   (07.18.10)
No. 12 seemed to be implying that non-Jews can't be buried in Israel. Period. In fact, as far as I'm concerned, people should be allowed to be buried anywhere they choose. Or better yet, perhaps they should all be cremated. Because like my Israeli husband said before he died... cemeteries are a ridiculous waste of space.
18. NYC Girl , again very wrong
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (07.18.10)
No , he was answering my # 1 , and i talked about Har Herzl , not Israel . Accept that you were wrong . Here it's NOT the death who should make a choice , but we to HONOR them ,
19. # 13
split ,   USA   (07.18.10)
Since you mentioned Schindler again he wasn't good enough to be burried among those that he saved, he died forgatten and penniless. His final rest is at Mt Zion Fraciscan cemetery. So much for your gratitude. I love you too ;)

Birdi ,   Israel   (07.18.10)
NYC, I am sorry for your loss. It is against the Jewish religion to be cremated.
21.  #19 ,
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (07.19.10)
He wanted to be buried in Jerusalem , he was . Forgotten ? not at all when you see the number of stones placed on his grave . Pennilerss ? yes , as many others who were not good businessmen , and spent much of their money on pleasure [ after the war ] . He was ALWAYS helped by Jews , the Joint . And who paid for the transfer of his rests to Jerusalem ? who paid for the burial and everything ? Jews , people whom he saved . That's gratitude , something unknown to you and alikes
22. #19 Split
Steven ,   Rockville, USA   (07.20.10)
Schindler was helped financially by Jewish organizations after WW2. With the money he received he set up a industraial venture which did not succed. After that, he was a speaker for theJ ewish National Fund, for which he received salary/, thus he was not abandoned , and was not penneless at his death. Split is a fool and a disgrace, his mind split because blind hatred. Keep up your comments, these will always discredit you. .
23. Jews Out
Godfrey deBouillon ,   West Chester, USA   (07.21.10)
Unbelievable. Today there are between five and eight THOUSAND Jews in all of Poland and still Jew hating is a delicious folk art to some people--and the Poles still have the chutzpa to call themselves civilized!!
24. 23 , "godfrey"
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (07.23.10)
....is a folk art to SOME people , you wrote , emphasis is mine . Those "some" , as you wrote correctly , are not the WHOLE Polish people . Taking this name shows a lack of history knowledge , this Godefroid de Bouillon was the leader of the first crusaders , who on their way to "liberate" Jerusalem , murdered thousands of Jews
