This is Irena Sendler hero of the Holocaust who saved the lives of 2500+ children by smuggling them out of the Warsaw ghetto taken over by the Nazis. She was tortured by the Nazis but never divulged their whereabouts. That there are heroes of her stature even today never ceases to amaze me and they are ohhhhh so few. During the war and Nazi occupations many (yet comparatively few) rose to the occasion.
