Irena Sendler was born on February 15th, 1910 in Warsaw, Poland. She stood up for Jews many times but the most memorable time was during WWII. Sendler managed to carry out an operation to rescue kids from the Warsaw Ghetto and she did this because she had a large group of Jewish friends who were being affected badly by this event.

"People can be only divided into good or bad; their race, religion, nationality don’t matter."

This quote relates to the situation going on at the time because the Nazis were diving people based on their beliefs because they thought there beliefs were superior. Sendler is saying, in this quote that we shouldn't classify people by anything but "good" and "bad", which is ultimately determined by their actions.

How Irena Managed to Help the Children Escape

# data[].attributes.body
There were five main means of escape which Irena and her team used:  1 – using an ambulance a child could be taken out hidden under the stretcher. 2 – escape through the courthouse. 3 – a child could be taken out using the sewer pipes or other secret underground passages. 4 – A trolley could carry out children hiding in a sack, in a trunk, a suitcase. 5 – if a child could pretend to be sick or was actually very ill, it could be legally removed using the ambulance.

“Fear makes you weak; anger makes you strong.”- Irena Sendler

This quote relates to the mindset that Irena Sendler had because most people would be afraid to go against the Nazis (they can easily kill you). But Irena didn't let that fear control her, because she knew what they were doing was unjust.

This song reminds me of Sendler because it talks about one person making a big change by speaking up and doing what's right even though others are against what she thinks.

The short-term impact of her actions was that she was able to save 2,500 Jewish children from the Warsaw Ghetto. The long term impact of what she did was, that those 2,500 children that were saved got to raise family's and just live life with not as much fear as the other Jewish kids that weren't saved. Another positive about what Irena Sendler did is that she showed us that even during bad times there will always be someone that will help you. It showed people during this time that there is some good people in this world.

This website gives a pretty detailed timeline about all the important things Irena Sendler did, I used some of the information from this website in my timeline, but I skipped some of the events that I didn't feel were as important.

This website talks about the impact that she had on the world, while I did use this site for my "Effect of Irena Sendler", I paraphrased what the website said and didn't give as much detail as what this website says.

For National History Day three girls did a project about Irena Sendler who, surprisingly, their teacher had never heard of! The three high schoolers decided to show people who Irena Sendler is so they made a website, a motion picture, 375 presentations of Life in a Jar as well as an award-winning book. I provided the link about them because I just thought it was so amazing how not many people knew about Irena Sendler after how much she has helped the Jewish community.  I also believe these girls have the most information about her compared to any other website!
