Irena Sendler
Irena Stanisława Sendler, also known as Irena Sendlerowa was a Polish-Cathllouc humanitarian, social worker, and nurse who served in the Polish Underground Resistance during World War II in German-occupied Warsaw. Even though she passed away about 13 years ago, she still today is seen as an unbelievable hero as she was part of an initiative that was able to save 2500 Jewish children from the Warsaw Ghetto. Sendler was selfless and courageous, who risked her own life to save others from being killed.
