Irena Sendler
Irena Sendler was born on February 15, 1910. During the Holocaust, Sendler became very close with a group of children in the concentration camps and the other Jewish camps. She found out that these children had death sentence. She soon started to smuggle them out and gave them to an orphanage. She would give the kids new identities and tell the people of the orphanage their new identities. In 1943, Sendler out the names of 2,500 kids she rescued in a jar and buried it in her neighbor’s backyard by an apple tree, hoping to contact the now-adults and remind them of their past. For her braveness, Sendler was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007. She died on May 12, 2008. She was a true hero.
