"Irena Sendler was a diminutive Polish social worker who helped spirit more than four hundred children out of the Warsaw Ghetto during World War II. Using toolboxes, ambulances, and other ingenious measures, Irena Sendler defied the Nazis and risked her own life by saving and then hiding Jewish children. Her secret list of the children's real identities was kept safe, buried in two jars under a tree in war-torn Warsaw."

This is an exception - al and beautifully illustrated account of a Catholic social worker’s courage and resourcefulness in rescuing, document - ing, and relocating hundreds of Jewish children during the terror of Nazi-oc - cupied Poland. Afterword

A rather odd mix of narrative and interview snippets. This isn't really a cohesive presentation of Irena Sendler's story; the facts, names, and dates are just kind of presented page by page. Irena Sendler's story is fascinating, but sadly, I have yet to find an author with the skill to convey it the way it deserves to be told. ( )
