Jennifer Roy

During World War II, Polish social worker Irena Sendler defies the Nazis to remove nearly 2,500 Jewish children from the Warsaw Ghetto. After keeping records of the children she helped, she buries the lists in jars when discovery threatens, hoping they can later help reconnect families. Her work continues until her arrest. Digitally created illustrations accompany this account of rescue during the Holocaust.
