Irena's Children. The Dramatic Story of a Woman Who Saved 2500 Children from the Warsaw Ghetto

Irena Sendler — a national hero of Poland, compared to Oskar Schindler and nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. During World War II, Irena saved 2500 Jewish children from the Holocaust, although each operation carried deadly risks for her and her loved ones.
This book tells the story of Irena: how a petite woman secretly built a whole network for saving children, smuggling them out of the ghetto through sewer pipes, hiding them under coats and in coffins, slipping through hidden passages in abandoned buildings. Irena became one of the key figures of the Resistance, who managed to rescue her from the Gestapo's clutches, and an unparalleled symbol of courage for all women.
