Holocaust Education Week

Irena Sendler was a young Polish woman living in Warsaw during World War II with an incredible story of survival and selflessness. Irena’s Children tells Irena’s unbelievable story set during one of the worst times in modern history. With guts of steel and unfaltering bravery, Irena smuggled thousands of children out of the walled Jewish ghetto in toolboxes and coffins, snuck them under overcoats at checkpoints, and slipped them through sewers and into secret passages that led to abandoned buildings, where she convinced her friends to hide them. This is the true story of this bold and brave woman, who risked her life to save innocent children from the horrors of the Holocaust.
