this last one is not really a funny picture, just thought it was an interesting read.

The relevant Wikipedia article suggests that she was NOT a plumber but a social worker, although she also apparently was involved in sanitation. Although I did not see specific evidence against it, it seems unlikely the account of the toolbox, dog, etc. are true and representative of her incredibly courageous work. She also worked with a couple dozen others, which explains how she was able to save 12 children a week.
This isn't nearly as bad (inaccurate) as a lot of the other "inspirational" stories I see circulating, but it still hurts me to see anything like this that can't get its facts straight. I feel it's a disservice not only to the readers but also to the people like Irena Sendler who are supposedly being honored. (Or, as in this case, used to take a political cheap shot.)
I'm sure you didn't know that when you posted it; I hope that, knowing it, you won't.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.

Neither got a Nobel Oskar Schindler, that saved more than 1000 jews in Poland and Czechoslovakia, or Giorgio Perlasca, that saved more than 5000 of them in Hungary.
Google saint martin vesubie dalmazzo vichy jews and you'll find an even less known story about Italian invaders saving and protecting jews in southern France from nazi invaders and French collaborator police, it lasted until the Italian army was disbanded after 8th September 1943, but they still managed to save many of those they protected before.
“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”
- George Orwell, ‘1984’
