Impacts The things  that Irena  Sendler did, had an immediate impact on the war effort. Irena saved 2,500 Jewish children, and she rescued them before things could have gotten worse. Even though many people may not have known about what Sendler was doing at the time, she still had a immediate and long term impact on those who were saved! Right away children's lives changed when they were saved and kept alive for one more day. She is remembered for the unforgettable sacrifices she made to save others. Even when she was punished and thrown in jail, she still wanted to protect those who she saved, she wouldn't even risk their lives when she was tortured and her arms and legs were broken. People were so inspired by Sendler's movement on society that they wrote a play called "Life in a Jar!" Also, there were long term impacts involving her wartime heroism. When people found out she was alive, they began fundraisers to send money to her! Later on, there was a museum memorial that mourned about her passing, and also the play that was written about her was turned into a DVD, and book etc. Irena Sendler has always been, and always will be remembered for everything she did during world war two!

Those who knew her say that it was always Irena’s nature to help. Though she lost her father at an early age, his dedication to others—reinforced by her mother’s example and words—made a deep impression on her. Though still young, she already had a history of sacrifice on behalf of others, and of defying rising anti-Semitism to reach out to and stand up for Jews.

Almost as soon as the Nazi occupation began, Irena began making forged documents for Jewish friends. She also offered food and shelter to the increasingly persecuted Jewish population. Then, in 1940, she witnessed the imprisonment of nearly 500,000 Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto—an area the size of New York’s Central Park. She continued making false documents for those who escaped or had gone into hiding and avoided the Ghetto. Between 1939 and 1942 Irena, with the assistance of a few trusted friends, forged over 3,000 documents to save Jewish families.

Irena  did survive the Holocaust but tragically died in May 12, 2008  from an unknown cause at 98 in Warsaw, Poland.   After the Holocaust she spent her time  being a social worker, Irena then spent the latter part of her life cared for in Warsaw by a woman called Elzbieta Ficowska. Eizbieta was one of the children (six months old at the time) Irena had smuggled out of city’s ghetto.

Irena has remarked on her actions during the war, stating that “We who were rescuing children re not some kind of heroes. That term irritates me greatly. The opposite is true – I continue to have qualms of conscience that I did so little. I could have done more. This regret will follow me to my death.”

Irena Sendler, a Roman Catholic who created a network of rescuers in Poland who smuggled about 2,500 Jewish children out of the Warsaw ghetto in World War II, some of them in coffins, died Monday in Warsaw. She was 98.

The death was confirmed by Stanlee Stahl, executive vice president of the Jewish Foundation for the Righteous, an organization that supports rescuers of Holocaust victims.

Mrs. Sendler was head of the children's bureau of Zegota, an underground organization set up to save Jews after the Nazis invaded Poland on Sept. 1, 1939. Soon after the invasion, approximately 450,000 Jews, about 30 percent of Warsaw's population, were crammed into a tiny section of the city and barricaded behind seven-foot-high walls.

On April 19, 1943, the Nazis began what they expected would be a rapid liquidation of the ghetto. It took them more than a month to quell the Warsaw ghetto uprising. By then, only about 55,000 Jews were still alive; most of them were sent to death camps.

Also by then, however, Mrs. Sendler's group of about 30 volunteers, mostly women, had managed to slip hundreds of infants, young children and teenagers to safety.

"She was the inspiration and the prime mover for the whole network that saved those 2,500 Jewish children," Debórah Dwork, the Rose professor of Holocaust history at Clark University in Massachusetts, said Monday. Professor Dwork, the author of "Children With a Star" (Yale University Press, 1991), said about 400 children had been directly smuggled out by Mrs. Sendler.

Elzbieta Ficowska, a baby in 1942, was one of them. "Mrs. Sendler saved not only us, but also our children and grandchildren and the generations to come," Ms. Ficowska told The Associated Press last year.

There were several ruses by which the children were saved. Mrs. Sendler was a social worker for the city, with a pass that allowed her to enter the ghetto. "The Jews were all disease carriers, as far as the Nazis were concerned," Professor Dwork said. "They put up quarantine signs throughout the ghetto." Forgeries of the government pass allowed other members of Zegota to enter the ghetto as well. They went in day after day to persuade Jewish parents to let them rescue children.

The most common escape route, Professor Dwork said, was through the Warsaw Municipal Law Courts, which abutted the ghetto.

"There were underground corridors that had entrances on the ghetto side," she said. "The Polish police were bribed to allow the traffic. Parents were told to dress the children as well as possible, certainly without wearing a star."

For a time, the ghetto's boundaries extended to the Jewish cemetery. "Some children were placed in coffins, their mouths taped, or they were sedated so they wouldn't cry," said Ms. Stahl, of the Jewish foundation. "Other children were smuggled out in potato sacks."

Sometimes an ambulance wagon, with a driver accompanied by a dog, took children through the gates. "Children were under the floorboard," Ms. Stahl said. "The barking dog would drown out a child's cries."

A church straddled the ghetto border. "Children would be taken into the church, go into the confessional, and come out with papers as a little Catholic," Ms. Stahl said. They would be taken to a Christian home, a convent or an orphanage.

In a letter last year to the Polish Senate after her country finally honored her efforts, Mrs. Sendler wrote, "Every child saved with my help and the help of all the wonderful secret messengers, who today are no longer living, is the justification of my existence on this earth, and not a title to glory."

In 1965, Mrs. Sendler became one of the first of the so-called righteous gentiles honored by the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial in Jerusalem. Poland's Communist leaders did not allow her to travel to Israel; she was presented the award in 1983.

Irena Krzyzanowska was born in Otwock, in what is now Poland, on Feb. 15, 1910. Her father was a physician. Her marriage to Mieczyslaw Sendler ended in divorce after World War II. Her second husband, Stefan Zgrzembski, died before her. She is survived by her daughter, Janka, and a granddaughter.

Mrs. Sendler once told Ms. Stahl that she wanted to write a book about the bravery of Jewish mothers.

"She said," Ms. Stahl recalled, " 'Here I am, a stranger, asking them to place their child in my care. They ask if I can guarantee their safety. I have to answer no. Sometimes they would give me their child. Other times they would say come back. I would come back a few days later and the family had already been deported.' "

I chose this because it shows the huge effect the Holocaust had to the fact their were songs about it. To remember the people that lost their lives and families because of this. Or how many children were stuck in New York or what they called at the time "The Ghetto".

I chose Irena Sendler because she heroic. She helped save Orphans in the Ghetto in New York where 450,000 Jewish people were forced and isolated. But once the Warsaw Ghetto was formed, she started by saving the orphan children.On the 20th of October 1943, Irena was arrested, and sent to Piawiak prison. During her time in imprisonment she was tortured for information on the other members of Zegota, and Irena fed the interrogators false information. Irena was then sentenced to death, however did not fulfil this sentence as her fellow Zegota members bribed workers in the prison to let her escape. Irena used her papers as a Polish social worker and papers from one of the workers of the Contagious Disease Department (who was a member of the underground Zegota) to enter the Warsaw Ghetto.

Irena and her helpers made over 3,000 false documents to help Jewish families before she joined Zegota and the children’s division.

Her father died in February 1917 from typhus contracted while treating patients whom his colleagues refused to treat in fear of contracting the disease, among them many Jews. After his death, Jewish community leaders offered her mother help in paying for Sendler’s education. Sendler studied Polish literature at Warsaw University. She opposed the ghetto-bench system that existed at some prewar Polish universities and defaced her grade card. As a result of her public protest she was suspended from the University of Warsaw for three years.
