Brings to life the story of Irene Sendler, a righteous gentile who risked her own life to save 2500 children who would have died in the Warsaw ghetto or in the camps. Not only did she work with various groups to smuggle the children out of the ghetto and find homes to shelter them, she recorded their names on lists, placed the lists in jars, and buried them in a friend's yard so when the nightmare ended, the jars could be used to identify the children. Dark illustrations reflect the times, and the presentation provides a way to discuss courage and morality.

An inspiring true story of a young woman who risked her life to save 2,500 children in the Warsaw Ghetto during World War II. These stories of unsung heroes are some of my favorite to read as it shows kids just how much impact you can have as a single person.

I've always enjoyed learning more about WWII and the Holocaust. I find this well written and a thoughtful new take on a well published topic. This will be a great addition to our school library.

I absolutely loved this book. It was so inspiring!
