Publisher Description

Delve into the remarkable and inspiring life of one of history's unsung heroes, Irena Sendler. This compelling biography chronicles the extraordinary journey of a Polish social worker who, during the darkest days of World War II, risked her life to save over 2,500 Jewish children from the clutches of the Nazi regime.

Follow Irena's early years as she becomes a dedicated social worker and activist, driven by her unyielding compassion and sense of justice. Witness her courageous efforts to smuggle Jewish children out of the Warsaw Ghetto, creating a clandestine network that would come to be known as "Zegota." Despite the constant threat of capture and execution, Irena's unwavering determination and cunning ingenuity allowed her to orchestrate daring rescues, ensuring the survival of countless innocent lives.

This captivating tale not only explores the dangerous world of resistance during the Holocaust but also delves into Irena's post-war life, where she faced persecution under the Soviet regime and lived in relative obscurity. Unearth the untold chapters of her life as her heroic actions slowly come to light, bringing her the recognition she truly deserved.
