About me / Bio:
Irena Sendler was a Polish humanitarian, social worker, and nurse who served in the Polish Underground Resistance during World War II in German-occupied Warsaw. She was the head of the children's section of Żegota, the Polish Council to Aid Jews, and smuggled Jewish children out of the Warsaw Ghetto and other locations, providing them with false identity documents and shelter with willing Polish families or in orphanages and other care facilities, including Catholic nun convents. She hid the list of the names and locations of the rescued children, preventing it from falling into the hands of the Gestapo. She was arrested, tortured, and sentenced to death by the Nazis, but managed to escape with the help of Żegota. After the war, she continued her social activism and pursued a government career. She was recognized by the State of Israel as Righteous Among the Nations and received many awards for her bravery and courage. She died in 2008 at the age of 98.
