Irena Sendler:
Irena Sendler was a hero of the Holocaust. The Holocaust is a mass murder of the Jews, controlled by Adolf Hitler from 1933 to 1945. The population of Jews in Denmark area went from nine-million to three-million. Irena, along with others, decided to try to stop Hitler's and the Nazis plan. One of the things that she did was smuggle children out of the Warsaw ghetto by organizing smuggling of Jewish kids by disguising them as packages, hiding them in suitcases, and also in ambulances and trolleys. Doing that, she saved more than 2,500 Jewish kids with her friends successfully. Secondly, on the day that she was supposed to be executed, some of her friends bribed a Jewish child, but, she did not give up on her narrow escape. She went in hiding but still did her job as part of the Resistance. Although the Nazis were trying to track her down, she produced thousands of fake documents to help Jewish families that were joining the resistance, which was named group Zegota, which is a council aid for Jews. The third thing that she did was because she was a Polish nurse and social worker, she would hide Jewish kids in the hospital and also pretend that they had illnesses. She was caught at the end of the war, but she still saved 2,500 kids. Although her name is not as familiar as it was back then, in 2009, right after the year that she died and two years before she earned the Order of the Smile, people created a movie of her. It is called The Courageous Life of Irena Sendler. There is also a book called Name of their Mothers about her. She lived in Warsaw with her kids Andrzej, Janina, and Adam. Irena Sendler was just one hero of the Holocaust.
