About this item
Gr 9 Up--Some of the worst anti-Jewish atrocities took place in Poland during World War II. Millions of children and adults were murdered. In this climate of inhuman brutality, a group of five women made it their duty to rescue and hide as many children as possible. Their leader was Irena Sendler, a young social worker in Warsaw, who created a vast network of safe homes, look-outs, and resistance fighters. Her testimony only recently became public. Sendler, an octogenarian, talks about the heartbreaking yet essential work she performed. In 1942, the Nazis required that 5,000 Jews be sent to the central plaza for deportation to death camps. Mothers hesitantly trusted Irena to take their children, with no guarantees that they would survive. She and her four sisters-in-arms smuggled Jewish youth through breaks in the ghetto walls or via Warsaw's sewers. It is astounding that every one of the hundreds of children Irena helped to hide survived the war. Many interview segments are in Polish with English subtitles. Testimonies are raw, real, and riveting. The film features a combination of contemporary interviews, vintage stills, movie footage, and some reenactments. Irena Sendler will be etched into viewers' minds as a uniquely courageous and moral woman. This program is an emotionally memorable addition to high school and adult collections of Holocaust history.--Robin Levin, Fort Washakie School/Community Library, Holocaust Teacher-Fellow, Fort Washakie, WY Copyright 2011 Reed Business Information.
