She buried names in jars to defy a monster—now the world will remember her.
When Nazi Germany turned Warsaw into a graveyard, one woman refused to watch in silence. Armed with nothing but forged papers, a nurse’s uniform, and a heart of unstoppable courage, Irena Sendler smuggled 2,500 Jewish children out of the Warsaw Ghetto, one fragile life at a time.
She hid infants in toolboxes. Sedated toddlers in burlap sacks. And every name she saved, she wrote by hand—then buried in glass jars beneath an apple tree, praying they’d live long enough to be remembered.
This is not just another Holocaust story.
This is the true story of a woman who risked everything and was forgotten by the world—until decades later, when a group of American schoolgirls uncovered her legacy buried in silence.
Dorian Ashveil’s masterful storytelling brings Irena’s untold journey to life in stunning emotional detail—from torture and near execution to the quiet triumph of rediscovered hope.
