Want a female Hero?
Irena Sendler
if you dont know her story you should
She was a woman who lived in Warsaw, She saw what was happening to the jews and decided to try to smuggle out of the ghetto children (children especially baby girls were easier than others)
She kept their indentities in a jar in the hope of returning the children to the parents after the war.
She saved about 2000 children from the Warsaw ghetto.
About 1943 she was caught by the Nazis tortured and sentanced to be executed. Her executioner was bribed and she escaped. She hid for the rest of the war.
She had a limp for the rest of her life for when the Nazi tortured and broke her feet after she was caught.
