Sendler with some children she saved, Warsaw, 2005
From Wikipedia: In 1943, Sendler was arrested by the Gestapo, severely tortured, and sentenced to death. ?egota saved her by bribing German guards on the way to her execution. She was left in the woods, unconscious and with broken arms and legs. She was listed on public bulletin boards as among those executed. For the remainder of the war, she lived in hiding, but continued her work for the Jewish children.
A new documentary about Irena Sendler and the women from that network: In the Name of their Mothers.
Every child saved with my help is the justification of my existence on this Earth, and not a title to glory.
