About this product

Product Information

During World War II, Irena Sendler, a Polish Catholic social worker, organized a rescue network of fellow social workers to save 2,500 Jewish children from certain death in the Warsaw ghetto. Incredibly, after the war her heroism, like that of many others, was suppressed by communist Poland and remained virtually unknown for 60 years. Unknown, that is, until three high school girls from an economically depressed, rural school district in southeast Kansas stumbled upon a tantalizing reference to Sendler's rescues, which they fashioned into a history project, a play they called Life in a Jar. Their innocent drama was first seen in Kansas, then the Midwest, then New York, Los Angeles, Montreal, and finally Poland, where they elevated Irena Sendler to a national hero, championing her legacy of tolerance and respect for all people. Life in a Jar: The Irena Sendler Project is a Holocaust history and more. It is the inspirational story of Protestant students from Kansas, each carrying her own painful burden, each called in her own complex way to the history of a Catholic woman who knocked on Jewish doors in the Warsaw ghetto and, in Sendler's own words, "tried to talk the mothers out of their children." Inspired by Irena Sendler, they are living examples of the power of one person to change the world and models for young people everywhere. ***** 60% of the sales of this book are donated to the Irena Sendler/Life in a Jar Foundation. The foundation promotes Irena Sendler's legacy and encourages educators and students to emulate the project by focusing on unsung heroes in history to teach respect and understanding among all people, regardless of race, religion, or creed.

Compassion crosses cultural boundries.
History is written by the winner of the war, and so the history of Poland and its people has been hidden and denied for decades. After WW11 when Russia was given control of Poland, anyone who fought against the invaders which included Russia as well as Germany was defined as a traitor. So it wasn't until the 1980's when the facts and heroes such as Irena Sendler came to light. The story unfolds when three girls from Kansas do a high school project and uncover the amazing story of Sendler, an "ordinary" Polish woman who was a Social Worker who creates an elaborate system to save the lives of thousands of Jewish children. The focus is on children of Warsaw during the war, but it also shows the ramifications of Sendlers actions. A weakness of the book is the author understates the suffering ... History is written by the winner of the war, and so the history of Poland and its people has been hidden and denied for decades.

The focus is on children of Warsaw during the war, but it also shows the ramifications of Sendlers actions. A weakness of the book is the author understates the suffering of the non-Jewish Polish citizens who also were routinely murdered. But the strength is showing how the concern of three Protestant girls were able to uncover the story of a Polish Catholic woman that saved Jewish children. Thankfully, compassion crosses cultural boundaries.

A story of genuine humanity across generations and countries!
I am an avid, lifetime reader. I am rarely surprised by awesome content. At one point I gasped out loud in surprise! I recommend this book highly. There have been courageous people in our modern world and there are young people who are learning the value of sacrifice and purpose. An amazing story.
