This compelling biography chronicles the extraordinary journey of a Polish social worker who, during the darkest days of World War II, risked her life to save over 2,500 Jewish children from the clutches of the Nazi regime.
Follow Irena's early years as she becomes a dedicated social worker and activist, driven by her unyielding compassion and sense of justice.
