From the page: "In October 1943 she was arrested and tortured by the Gestapo, but refused to give up the names of the children.
She was saved on the day of her scheduled execution after the Polish underground bribed her SS guards.
She said persuading parents to part with their loved ones was particularly traumatic.
The children were smuggled out in different ways - in ambulances, through the sewers, and once under her skirt.
The BBC's Adam Easton in Warsaw says Irena Sendlerowa hated the term "hero", and said her conscience was troubled because she had done so little."
Times they are a changing. This is history. Government cutbacks and all. Can't hire more police because we gotta pay for more weapons and armor.......I'm getting a bit pissy today. great picture.
From the page: "steal your arm around her waist, take her hand softly in your own, and then tenderly drawing her towards you, kiss her "
That always works for me!
