FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Review This basic thirty-two-page biography opens with Irena Sendlers early morning arrest by the Gestapo in 1943. It then goes back to describe her childhood in Poland and her familys close relationships with their Jewish neighbors. It continues with a brief description of the Nazi invasion of Poland and a more detailed account of Irenas efforts to distribute typhus vaccines and other needed supplies inside the Warsaw Ghetto. An entire chapter is dedicated to Sendlers work to save Jewish children from deportation and death by sneaking them outside of the Ghetto and finding safe places for them to hide. After Sendler was arrested, she was brutally tortured but eventually released. She continued to save Jewish children and after the war ended, worked to reunite them with their families. Irena Sendler was honored by Yad Vashem in 1965 for saving more than 2,500 children. Text boxes provide helpful background information and photographs, "Did You Know?" facts, and definitions of terms are also included on each page; a glossary, index and "Critical Thinking Questions" are appended.
