Schindler save children
During World War II, Irena Sendler saved more people than Oskar Schindler, smuggling some 2,500 Jewish children from Warsaw’s ghetto to safety. Each time, she escaped certain death, as the price for anyone who helped a Jew was summary execution. Sendler was working at the Citizens’ Social Aid Committee, helping unwed mothers, when the Germans invaded Poland in 1939. But Sendler had access to the ghetto due to her work. So she and a few cohorts began secretly removing the kids and resettling them with gentile families. Birth certificates were forged, reinventing Jewish children as Aryans. Although Sendler was recognized as Righteous Among the Nations by the official Holocaust memorial organization Yad Vashem in 1965, she remained persona non grata to the Polish Communist government. She spent the rest of her life in Poland, raising her three children.
