Before World War II, Warsaw was the center of Jewish life and culture in Poland. Warsaw's prewar Jewish population of more than 350,000 constituted roughly 30 percent of the city's total population. The Warsaw Jewish community was the largest in Europe and second to only New York City worldwide.

On September 29, 1939, the German military occupied Warsaw. In October 1940, the Germans ordered the establishment of a ghetto into which all Jewish residents were ordered to live. The ghetto, enclosed by a 10 foot wall topped with barbed wire and closely guarded to prevent illegal movement, was sealed off from the rest of the city in November 1940.

Kids would sneak out by crawling through sewer and underground passage ways, hiding under an ambulance stretcher and if they were sick enough on top of it, and even hiding in suitcases or trolleys. One of Irena's favorite ways was through the court house but it eventually shut down and she was forced to find other ways. But sadly she was caught and interrogated for information about Zegota, she gave them a twisted version of the truth but the solider already knew everything she was asked and she was sentenced to be executed. With her legs and foot fractured from the interrogation she was in no shape to fight back. But little did she know that someone from Zegota had bribed the guard and she made it out alive. She spent the rest of the war in hiding. After the war ended she started digging up the jars she had buried to save the kids information and tried to reunite them with their closes Jewish family member for most of the kids parent had died in the camp.
