This woman was brought to my attention a year or so ago. Some high school girls made a play about her life and even went to visit the woman in Poland.
Today I read in my local paper that she had died.
She was a wonderful woman.
Here is more info on her. And wiki link too.
Irena Sendler (in Polish also: Irena Sendlerowa; February 15, 1910 – May 12, 2008) was a Polish Roman Catholic social worker.
During World War II she was an activist in the Polish Underground and the Żegota Polish anti-Holocaust resistance in Warsaw. She helped save 2,500 Jewish children from the Warsaw Ghetto by providing them false documents and sheltering them in individual and group children's homes outside the Ghetto.

What an AMAZING woman she was. May she rest in peace.
I'm SURE there's a special place in heaven for her.
