Irena Sendler



Irena Sendler saved over 2000 Jewish children during World War II. She didn't have to do this. It was dangerous. Nobody could blame her if she had decided to mind her own business and just try to survive the war but she didn't do that. She chose the holy thing, the courageous thing. Eventually she was caught by the Nazis and among other totures they inflicted upon her was breaking her legs. Do you have any idea how hard someone would have to strike you to break your legs? But look at that face. They did not break her soul or her love of God. Now this is a  woman to admire.
