Wonderful, Lori! I am so glad she was spared during the war. The only female WWII hero I remember hearing about growing up was Corrie Ten Boom. Now, it seems these stories are trickling out about other women who were courageous enough to assist & save Jewish lives. How did you find out about this lady?

Anyone who knows me knows that I have certain topics that drive me stark raving mad. You may have seen this story in the news, but it delighted me instead of my usual raging at the computer. SO ironic and SO funny, I just had to laugh!!
Breastfeeding is no easy task, despite how natural it might seem. Forget the logistics of trying to get a baby on the boob — dealing with wholly unnecessary shaming for daring to expose one's breast to feed her child can make the act of breastfeeding exceptionally difficult. When one breastfeeding mom was told to cover up at a museum, she pretty much had the best response an incredulous mama could have — and she tweeted it all out on Sunday at London's Victoria and Albert Museum. The mom has chosen to remain identified only by her Twitter handle, @vaguechera. The museum didn't immediately respond to Romper's request for comment, though it did publicly apologize.
"Flashed a nanosecond of nipple while #breastfeeding and was asked to cover up in @V_and_A courtyard," the mom tweeted. "Am perplexed..." Accompanying her tweet was a photo collage of female statues with exposed breasts found throughout the museum, while proudly holding up her 3-and-a-half-year-old son next to one. Vaguechera continued her tour of the museum, pointing out just about all of the exposed breasts she encountered throughout the museum's art collection — and each tweet contained a photo with a savagely hilarious caption documenting the absurdity of her plight.

Good for her! Brilliant response. And how embarrassing for the V&A.
I bet that the busybody staff didn't get employer of the month award.
Just imagine, how as a consequence of this incident, now they will have to write policy on this! How absurd!

Exactly. How stupid. It makes me violent. BREASTS ARE FOR FEEDING BABIES. GET OVER IT!

A Canadian lady, Mary Grams, 84, lost her diamond engagement ring in her garden 13 years ago and thought it was gone for good. She quickly replaced it with a cheap replica without telling her husband because she worried about what he would say.
But this week her daughter-in-law found the ring stuck on a carrot she pulled up on the family farm!
