    During World War 2 in the Warsaw Ghetto, Polish social worker, Irena Sendler, rescued 2,500 children. The vast number of children she saved demonstrates how much she truly sacrificed for friends and strangers alike. She was head of the organization nicknamed the Zegota in 1942. This was an underground operation that secretly rescued hundreds of children from the Warsaw Ghetto based from Poland. Later in her career, Nazi officials became suspicious of her actions and arrested her ("Irena Sendler." Newsmakers). She was to be executed but a guard was bribed to let her escape. She then worked "Under the codename Jolanta, with the help of her coworkers, she arranged for Jewish children to be smuggled out of the ghetto and for sheltering them in secure places either with non-Jewish families or in religious institutions" (Paldiel).

    Irena's parents

    "Heroes do extraordinary things. What I did was not an extraordinary thing. It was normal." Quoted from Irena Sendler, a woman who saved over 2,500 Jewish children and aiding their parents inside the walls of the Warsaw Ghetto during the Holocaust. Irena Sendler exemplifies a true hero. Born February 15th, 1910, in Warsaw, Poland to Dr. Stanislaw and Janina Sendler, she moved to Otwock and spent her childhood there. Being an only child, she set out to man friends, almost all of them coincidentally being Jewish. Her parents, humanitarians, always helped the poor. Irena grew to be a respectable ung woman, graduating from Warsaw University and becoming a social worker. Then, in 1939, a terrible war began on Jews in Germany. Known as one of the worst mass-genocides ever recorded, the Holocaust took the lives of over 5.9 million innocent Jews. The Nazis invaded Poland and trapped Jews in ghettos where they would await shipment to death camps.

    As the world marks liberation of the Nazi concentration camps… LORD ASHCROFT recalls the forgotten heroine of the Holocaust who smuggled 2,500 ghetto children to safety in coffins, suitcases... and even a toolbox

    The pretty, dark-haired young woman in a nurse's uniform felt her heart thump inside her chest as she presented her identity papers to the Nazi soldiers guarding one of the few entrances to the Warsaw Ghetto.

    It was the summer of 1942 and the truth about the Germans' brutal genocide of the Jews was becoming horrifyingly clear. The knot in her stomach shifted slightly as the guard gruffly waved her inside. Agonisingly, she knew that if the truth of her secret mission was revealed, she would be tortured by the ruthless, sadistic SS and then shot.

    She sighed with relief, but knew an even more heart-rending task lay inside the walls of the ghetto, where up to 500,000 Polish Jews had been corralled ten-to-a-room in a warren of buildings and streets in an area little larger th
