Irena Sendler, a Polish nurse who saved the lives of 2,500 Jewish


 Irena Sendler, a Polish nurse who saved the lives of 2,500 Jewish children during the Holocaust? Irena worked as a social worker at the Warsaw ghetto, and she helped smuggle Jewish children out of the ghetto and provided them with false identities. She kept records of their real identities, so that their families could be reunited after the war.


Irena was eventually captured by the Nazis, but she was rescued by the underground resistance movement. 


After the war, Irena spent years trying to reunite the children she had saved with their families. Many of the children's parents had been killed during the Holocaust, so Irena became a surrogate mother to many of them.


She was later recognized as a Righteous Among the Nations by the State of Israel. She was also nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007.


Despite her many accolades, Irena remained humble and stated that her actions were not heroic, but simply what any human being should do. 


Irena's story highlights the importance of compassion and empathy in the face of great tragedy.


She risked her life to help save others, and she never forgot about the children she had helped. Her story is a reminder that even in the darkest of times, there is still hope. Irena's legacy lives on in the lives of the children she saved, and in the hearts of those who have been inspired by her story. Do you think more people should be like Irena?

Michael Morrison and his girlfriend, Debbie Means, were brutally murdered on prom night in 1980. After attending the dance, the couple was run off the road and forced at gunpoint to get into another car. Debbie was raped, strangled to death, and then Mike was shot execution-style. After attending the dance, Mike and Debbie got dinner at the Carriage House Restaurant in Belleville, and then attended a small party at the abandoned Peabody strip pits. They left about 2:30 a.m. but never made it home. It’s believed that Mike’s 1963 Plymouth Belvedere was run off the road before the couple was forced at gunpoint to get into someone else’s car.  They were then driven three miles away to an isolated spot near Funk School Road and Jack’s Run Road where Mike was locked in the trunk while Debbie was bound, raped and strangled to death. Mike was then removed from the trunk and shot point-blank in the back of the head three times and left face-down in a ditch. Investigators soon zeroed in on M...

Charla Nash was severely mauled by her friend's pet

Image
 In 2009, a woman named Charla Nash was severely mauled by her friend's pet chimpanzee named Travis. Travis had been raised like a human and could even perform basic tasks like using the toilet, making coffee, and riding in a car. However, on the day of the attack, something seemed to trigger the chimpanzee, and he viciously attacked Nash, biting her face, hands, and feet. Nash survived the attack, but she suffered severe injuries and had to undergo multiple surgeries. This case raised questions about the safety of keeping chimpanzees as pets and whether people truly understand the dangers of owning a wild animal. After the attack, there was a renewed debate about whether chimpanzees should be allowed as pets, and whether stronger regulations should be put in place to protect people and animals. Do you think that people should be allowed to keep chimpanzees and other wild animals as pets?

the disappearance of Bobby Linhart

 In March of 2017, 14-year-old Bobby was reported missing from his home in Phoenix, Arizona. His mother, Sarah Linhart, told police that she had last seen him at their home the previous evening. She said that Bobby had taken a shower and gone to bed, and she assumed he was still in his room when she woke up the next morning. But when she went to check on him, he was nowhere to be found.  After Sarah reported Bobby missing, police searched the neighborhood and interviewed family and friends, but they found no sign of the boy. Two days after Bobby went missing, police received a tip that he had been seen at a nearby bus station. However, surveillance footage from the station showed no sign of Bobby. The case went cold, and Bobby’s family began to fear the worst. Then, in May of 2017, police received a tip that Bobby had been seen near a highway about 100 miles from Phoenix. Police and volunteers scoured the area near the highway, and they eventually found Bobby’s body in a shall...
