irena sendler

information

In 1942, she worked as a senior manager in the Warsaw Municipality, in the relief department. She joined the Zagota organization, run by the Polish government in exile in London with the help of Jews. The Polish underground was nicknamed Yolanta and her occupation was to rescue Jewish children there. Her life in rescue and rescue operations is likely to come through people she recruited in the past, forging documents giving Jews names of works and obtaining sick certificates, created to deter Nazis from spreading infectious diseases. Along with her assistant, Irena Schultz, she entered the ghetto on the grounds of treating patients if she created money, food, medicine and clothing.

Later, she began smuggling children from the ghetto to monasteries or all the families, using fake papers that they had arranged underground. Some of the children said that their Jewish parents were the efforts to facilitate their separation from their parents.
