Irena Sendler...to many people a criminal, and to others, a hero ....

I never heard of this woman until not long ago. But what i have heard of her, she seems to be one amazing woman. I know that this is a blog about a crime, and this woman hasn't really committed a crime, however, it was a crime that she was trying to stop that makes her such a wonderful and amazing woman. So i figured that this was a great post anyways that needed to be heard.
Irena Sendler, otherwise known as Irena Sendlerowa, was a Polish Catholic social worker and served in the Polish Underground. She also worked for the Zegota resistance organization in the German Warsaw during World War ll. Irena had saved over 2,500 Jewish children by smuggling out of the Warsaw Ghetto.
She was born as Irena Kryzanowska in 1910. The poor children were tortured because of their race and if they were just different. They were raped, murdered and even tortured. All this happened to those poor innocent children. all because they weren't all the same. And finally, a brave woman decided to do whatever possible to try and save those poor children and give them a real chance to see what life can really be like.



Irena

  During the time of the second World War, people were still very harsh about how other's appeared. And this is a crime as well. You don't need a crime of murder or anything for it to be considered a crime. It is very sad but all we can ever do is try to help them in any way possible.
It was said back then that anyone who helped a Jewish person would be killed. Irena didn't care, she would risk her life a million times over again to rescue those children, and that is exactly what she did. The children were placed in convents, polish homes or anywhere that she knew that they would be safe. The children were assured that when the war was over, they would be reunited with their Jewish families.
She and her co-workers buried lists of the hidden children in jars in order to keep track of their original and new identities.


Sendler was arrested in 1943, she was severely tortured and she was put on death row. She was rescued and she stayed in hiding until the end of the war. I feel that this is all a crime. She was going to be killed for saving children. She had risked her life so many times to give other's theirs.
