Movies!!

I cannot tell you how much I adore Steve Carell. So I am very excited about the new 'Get Smart' movie coming out, with Correll as Maxwell Smart. I used to watch the old TV show on Nick at Nite. It was one of my all-time favorites. I loved the "cone of silence." I really wish Nick at Nite would start showing these types of shows again. The shows the have on are not very good. It is kind of disappointing.

They just released all of the shows in a DVD set this year. Right now they are quite expensive, but I will be buying the whole series when the price falls a little bit. I can't wait to watch them again.

That is my little bit of nostalgia for the week ("would you believe")! :)

Woman Who Saved 2,500 Jewish Children from Holocaust Dies at 98

May 13, 2008

WARSAW, Poland - Irena Sendler -- credited with saving some 2,500 Jewish children from the Nazi Holocaust by smuggling them out of the Warsaw Ghetto -- has died at the age of 98.

Sendler's daughter says her mother died Monday at a Warsaw hospital.

Sendler was a young social worker with the city's welfare department when Germany invaded Poland in September 1939, launching World War II. Warsaw's Jews were forced into a walled-off ghetto.

Under the pretext of inspecting sanitary conditions during a typhoid outbreak, she and her assistants ventured into the ghetto and smuggled out babies and small children, sometimes wrapped up as packages.

Teenagers escaped by joining teams of workers forced to labor outside the ghetto.

The Nazis captured Sendler in 1943 and tortured her, but she refused to betray her team.
