It’s late October, 1943, Irena, a courageous young woman, has spent years risking her life, but today, her time has run out. The Gestapo are pounding violently on the door and Irena knows they’ve come for her and the incriminating evidence she’s been hiding.  If the Gestapo find that small glass jar, it’s not just Irena’s life at risk but thousands of families. The fate of an entire underground resistance, hangs in the balance.SOURCES: Movie about her life, WATCH HERE: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x8izvrr https://www.pensacolastate.edu/life-jar-irena-sendler-project-psc-ashmore-auditorium-april-1-2/ https://www.ghettovenezia.com/en/the-history/ https://irenasendler.org/facts-about-irena/ https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB123991537451426695https://www.motl.org/irena-sendler-the-holocaust-heroine-who-saved-2500-jewish-children-from-nazi-evil/https://www.vermontpublic.org/programs/2013-07-02/sendlers-list-how-one-polish-woman-saved-2-500-jewish-children https://www.lowellmilkencenter.org/programs/projects/view/life-in-a-jar/storytellers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udSn4kY65_w https://irenasendler.org/facts-about-irena/https://www.neh.gov/article/irena-sendler-and-girls-kansas https://sprawiedliwi.org.pl/en/node/17651 https://forward.com/schmooze/433307/who-is-irena-sendler-the-catholic-holocaust-hero-who-gal-gadot-will-play/https://www.vermontpublic.org/programs/2013-07-02/sendlers-list-how-one-polish-woman-saved-2-500-jewish-children https://www.neh.gov/article/irena-sendler-and-girls-kansasSupport the show
