God bless this incredibly brave woman.. she is in heaven for sure.. My Grandma saved her jewish neighbor from the Nazis by hiding her for 11 days in her wood pile in our basement .. these folks are all saints of God
indeed amazing people. the question is, why would amn all loving, all powerful god CHOOSE for this to happen, when his all-powerfulness means he could have easily CHOSEN for this to have never happened, and we would STILL have free will and grow (because he is "all powerful" so he can reach his objectives WITHOUT evil if he wants. Weird, trying to understand this all powerful, all loving god that CHOOSES to create brutal suffering, evil, rape, devils etc when HE DOES NOT NEED TO.
Righteous among nations is a very politicized issue. Many who should have been recognised, haven't for fear their loved one's might use it to immigrate to Israel and seek citizenship there. Quite a few people in Eastern Europe particularly ExYugoslav States remain in a kind of a grey area unrecognised by Yad Vashem, but recognised by other institutions.
God, I can only pray to ever have the strength of this woman and her family. Defying fate and staring tyranny straight in the eye, and not flinching the least bit. May the Lord bless her soul and give her a well deserved seat at His table.
I wish I could say the same. Sadly, this tragedy seems to be happening again in China. What can we do? I wish we could unite to fight this evil, wipe it off the face of the planet.
Defend your people, all your people, without petty considerations like religion or national origin. By physical force if necessary. If evil men refuse to understand compassion, let them understand strength.
As a x soldier the true heroes are those soldiers who never returned to their families and loved ones. Without their courage and devotion to duty,l wonder of they would have been happy to see the world now.
We have suffer equally and we have many reasons to be united. Most Greeks grew up with the same principles, respect for the human life and protection to the innocents...
It’s the worst thing that happened in the previous century that would make these stories necessary. Both of my grandfathers were veterans of that war and it defined their whole generation.
God bless this woman for her compassion and risking all to save these Jews from certain death. May she rest forever in Heaven with God and all the righteous.
😭😭😭⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 one in one million are borne like Irena in this world!! You are 100 times better than all those speakers who give lectures on the stage on motivation. You are God-sent Angel Madam!! Hundreds of thousands of Namaste to you Madam ⚘⚘⚘⚘🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
The Pulitzer laureates are honored for writing the history, the Nobel laureates for their activism.....and we know them. Why no award to a people, a part of humanity that shared their homes, food, lives and put themselves in danger who lived beyond the requirements of such awards. I cannot walk in their shoes and will never understand the depth of their courage.
Your average person may not know them by name, but they HAVE been honored (over 2,800 non-Jews who risked their lives and/or liberty to save Jews, for purely altruistic reasons). They’re given a medal and have their names added to a wall in Israel. (They used to have a tree planted in their name in Israel, but space became limited.) They’re also given honorary Israeli citizenship, and if they choose to move to Israel, they’re given a pension and free health care. We all know a few; they include Oskar Schindler (subject of Schindler’s List) and Miep Gies, the woman who aided Anne Frank, her family, and four others during their hiding in an Amsterdam attic.
History must be forgotten so such despicable crimes against Humanity never happen again therefore The Jewish people from all around the world and Israel will always have my support and love. God bless The Jewish People, God bless Israel ❤️❤️❤️❤️✡️✡️✡️✡️✡️🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Very moving story. God bless those kind hearted who helped rescue poor Jews. What about LGBT communities and others who were also the target of the Nazis? Really hope there was retaliation back then to give it back to the NAZIS. Liberation came, but a bit too late.
Bravest of the brave. Three sisters. We know what the nazis would have done to them. A quick death would have been merciful but that is not how our German friends treated their Greek neighbors at the time. I would like to see a movie about her instead of " Batman Does It Again".
In the island of zakynthos the german commander , when he took in charge of the island after the italians surrender in 1943 , demanded from the mayor a catalogue of the jews inhabitants. A day later he received a short list. In this list were written his name , the members of the city council and the name of the island's bishop.... This way almost all the jews of the island , about 650 , hidden by their greek compatriots, survived ....
Plain Jewish people and plain Greeks have many things in common. Unfortunately we both have fanatics among us that hate other races and other cultures. As a Greek, supporting a Democratic Israel is the only path forward.
Thank God for her family helping their neighbors. And look at the family!
God bless this incredibly brave woman.. she is in heaven for sure.. My Grandma saved her jewish neighbor from the Nazis by hiding her for 11 days in her wood pile in our basement .. these folks are all saints of God

Heros .

Perfect example of humanity. Isn't this how we all should be, instead of killing and destroying each other for nothing. ❤️🙏

She so thankful that her smile so full of hapiness....I like listening their story ...nice to see this it feels me so good

“Dupe”
There, fixed it for you.
Excelente person
It's all our responsibility to make sure all this BS never ever happens again.
I agree we really need to document as much as we can because those generations are almost gone and declining at a fast pace.
I'm with that 100% I admit I am not the best person in life but this for sure I stand behind 100%

Sometimes you just have to CHOOSE to be brave.
The effects can be so amazing and span generations!

So many years last such a bond many will never know. So sad
Hearing them in greek saying they are all a family now makes me so emotional.
I am crying watching this

חסידי אומות עולם המשפחה הזו, תבורכו לנצח, אמן ואמן!!!❤
Amazing story.
סיפור מדהים ומרגש❤

There were many genocides in the last century buddy, some as bad as the holocaust, just not as popular
@@recipoldinasty I’m not sure genocides should be a popularity contest.
God bless this woman for her compassion and risking all to save these Jews from certain death. May she rest forever in Heaven with God and all the righteous.
The majority of Greeks helped a lot in saving people from the Nazis, we dont forget, bless all the good people around the world.
The majority? No. A few did and those who did were Saints.
@@semsemeini7905 I think many Greek people helped Jews to hide from nazis , just like this old sweet lady shown in the video.
Couldn’t hold my tears , I am a weak man :(
No!!You are not a weak!!!You are a man with love, compassion and sensitivity!!
That tight hug says it all
Apart from the wheelchair she looks very well. 🙏♥️🇳🇿🌹

A missed 'W' turns this from a wartime story into a legend of how someone saved a Wii console

Watching Irena kiss those beautiful babies.. would not have been possible without her.❤️

GOD BLESS HER AND 🇮🇱 ISRAEL.
Unfortunately we are going witness same thing
I don’t think I would EVER feel comfortable sitting down in her presence.
I'm glad she said that she was the one who saved her life and not God
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@elypowell6797 I rejected God, but I'm living a life much better than majority of religious people out there
God bless them all. I think it is very interesting their last name is Mordecai...Ester. Selah!
And Al Gore beat her to the Nobel Peace Prize. He can have it. Her prize is in heaven.
