Inside, you can see a piece of paper with a photo of Irena Sendler and a medal.

Now you realize that Irena was an amazing woman. She was awarded the "Righteous Among the Nations" medal for rescuing 2500 Jewish children.

You pick up a tablet and a leaflet. It says that a group of American teenagers wrote a play about Irena Sendler. You decide to learn more about it and watch the video.

You can see an envelope on the desk.You hope it has some more interesting information about the life of Irena Sendler.What are you waiting for? Open it and find out.

As soon as the Nazi occupation began, Irena began making false documents for her Jewish friends. She also offered food and shelter to the increasingly persecuted Jewish population. Then, in 1940, she saw the imprisonment of nearly 500,000 Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto. She continued making false documents for those who escaped or went into hiding and avoided the Ghetto. Between 1939 and 1942 Irena made over 3,000 documents to save Jewish families. In the fall of 1942 two Polish women, Zofia Kossak-Szczucka and Wanda Krahelska-Filipowicz, founded Żegota—the Council for Aid to Jews in Occupied Poland. They asked Irena to head the Children’s Department. She agreed. “I lost no time in thinking about the danger,” she later explained, “knowing that I and my heart had to be there, had to be a part of the rescue.”With the help of other social workers, Irena began rescuing the children of the Ghetto. She would go into the Ghetto saying she wanted to stop the spread of disease beyond the walls. Officially, she was examining Jews for signs of diseases. In reality, she was looking for children to save.nn

In the envelope there is a piece of paper.You take a look at it and see that it talks about Irena and her heroism.You feel you need to learn more.

The tablet that you've found is on. There's a short movie about Irena Sendler and her life and work in the Nazi occupied Poland during World War II.You start watching the video.
