                   Irena Sendler: A Brave Rescuer of Jewish Children

It was early morning on October 20, 1943, when eleven Gestapo agents stormed into a Polish woman’s apartment. They tore the place apart, ripping open every pillow and mattress, searching for a hidden list. Just seconds before they arrived, the woman had passed the list to a friend. After three hours, the agents left without finding it—but they arrested the woman. Knowing the list was safe, she felt a quiet sense of relief.

That woman was Irena Sendler, a kind and courageous social worker from Warsaw, Poland. During World War II, the Nazis took over the city and forced over 400,000 Jews into the overcrowded Warsaw Ghetto. Many people inside were dying from hunger and disease. Shocked by these conditions, Irena joined a secret resistance group. At first, she smuggled food and medicine into the ghetto, but she soon realized that more needed to be done—the Nazis had started sending people to death camps.

Determined to help, Irena gathered a group of brave friends and coworkers. They planned a daring mission to secretly rescue Jewish children. They got special permits to enter the ghetto and had to convince parents to let their children go with strangers—a heartbreaking choice for many families.

The children were smuggled out in clever ways: hidden in suitcases, flour sacks, or even under stretchers in ambulances. One driver trained his dog to bark and cover the sounds of crying babies. These rescuers risked their lives—if caught, they would be executed.

Once safe, the children were given new names and fake documents. Some stayed with kind Polish families, while others were sent to orphanages or convents. Irena carefully recorded each child’s real name and new identity, hoping they could reunite with their parents after the war.Eventually, Irena was captured. Despite being tortured, she refused to give away any information. Her friends later helped her escape, and she continued her mission in hiding. In the end, she helped save over 2,000 children.

Today, Irena Sendler is honored for her bravery and compassion. She never saw herself as a hero, but her selfless actions continue to inspire people around the world.
