Occupation Social worker, humanitarian.
Irena Sendler (in Polish also: Irena Sendlerowa; née Krzyżanowska; February 15, 1910 – May 12, 2008)[1] was a Polish Catholic social worker. During World War II in German-occupied Warsaw, Poland, she was a member of the Polish Underground and the Żegota resistance organization.
Sendler, assisted by some two dozen other Żegota members, saved 2,500 Jewish children by smuggling them out of the Warsaw Ghetto, providing them false documents and sheltering them in individual and group children's homes outside the Ghetto.[2]
Sendler's story was brought to light in the United States when students in Kansas found it described in a magazine and popularized it in a play, Life in a Jar.
On April 19, 2009 her story first aired on the American CBS television network in a film, The Courageous Heart of Irena Sendler, written and directed by John Kent Harrison; Sendler is played by Canadian actress Anna Paquin.
