Irena Sendler was a Polish social activist who helped Warsaw Jews during the German occupation. She became the leading activist of \u017begota (Polish Council to Aid Jews) after its creation in the fall of 1942. From 1943, as head of the children’s department, she used her contacts with orphanages and other institutions to find hiding places for Jewish children. The exact number of children she saved is not known, but it is estimated as 2,500.<\/span><\/p>\n

During the action of saving the children out of the ghetto, Irena Sendler kept a file, writing down their data on small rolls of paper. Those notes were then buried in a jar under one of the trees in the garden of one of the messengers. To this day, an apple tree grows at 9 Lekarska Street, under which information about children was hidden.<\/span><\/p>\n

In 1943, Irena Sendler was arrested by the Gestapo for her activities, tortured and sentenced to death. \u017begota managed to save her by bribing German guards. After the prison and a short period of hiding, she continued her activity in the resistance movement. After the war, when asked about her actions, she said: “I was taught by my father that when someone drowns, you do not ask if he can swim, but you jump to help him.”<\/span><\/p>\n

In 1965, Irena Sendlerowa was honored with the title of Righteous Among the Nations. She died in 2008 in Warsaw at the age of 98.<\/span><\/p>\n
