Based on the True Story of Irena Sendler, a Holocaust Hero, and the Kansas Teens Who "Rescued the Rescuer".
During World War II, Irena Sendler, a Polish Catholic social worker, organized a rescue network of fellow social workers to save 2.500 Jewish children from certain death in the Warsaw ghetto. Incerdibly, after the war her heroism, like that of many others, was suppressed by communist Poland and remained virtually unknown for 60 years.
