Irena's Children: The Dramatic Story of the Woman Who Saved 2,500 Children from the Warsaw Ghetto

Irena Sendler is a national heroine of Poland, who has been compared to Oskar Schindler and nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. During World War II, Irena saved 2,500 Jewish children from the Holocaust, even though each operation carried deadly risks for her and her loved ones.
This book tells Irena's story: how the diminutive woman secretly built an entire child rescue network, working with associates to bring children out of ghettos through sewage pipes, hiding them under coats and in coffins, slipping through secret passages in abandoned buildings. Irena became one of the key figures of the Resistance, which managed to rescue her from the Gestapo, and an unparalleled symbol of courage for all women.
