In the autumn of 1942, a slight, 32-year-old Polish social worker named Irena Sendler passed through the gates of the Warsaw Ghetto with a carpenter’s toolbox in her arms. Beneath the hammers and nails lay a drugged six-month-old infant, breathing softly, utterly silent. One cry would have meant instant death for both of them. Irena smiled at the guards; they waved her through. They never suspected that this quiet woman would repeat the journey 2,499 more times. The ghetto was a slow-motion extermination. Starvation, disease, and random murder stalked every street. Jewish parents faced a choice no human being should ever have to make: keep their child and watch them waste away, or hand them to a stranger who promised a chance—however thin—at life. Irena came officially to inspect for typhus. In reality, she came to steal children from death. Babies left in toolboxes or ambulances under false bottoms. Toddlers sedated and tucked into potato sacks. Older children led by the hand through the stinking, lightless sewers while German boots marched overhead. “Not a sound,” she whispered as rats scurried past their feet. She knew that the rescued children would be given new names, new religions, new families. Their pasts would vanish unless someone remembered. So, on fragile scraps of tissue paper, Irena wrote each child’s real name, their parents’ names, and their new hiding place. She rolled the papers tight, slipped them into glass jars, and buried them beneath an apple tree in a neighbor’s garden. If she were caught and killed, the truth might still survive. She was caught. On October 20, 1943, the Gestapo kicked in her door. They took her to Pawiak Prison and demanded the list. When she refused, they smashed both her legs with iron bars. Then her feet. Then her arms. For weeks the beatings continued. She never spoke. They scheduled her execution. On the appointed morning, guards dragged the broken woman from her cell. Instead of a firing squad, she found herself outside the prison walls—alive. The Polish underground council Żegota had bribed a guard to mark her file “shot while trying to escape.” Officially dead, Irena Sendler limped back into the shadows to keep working.When the war finally ended, the first thing she did was dig up the jars under the apple tree. She spent years trying to return the children—now scattered across convents, farms, and foster homes—to whatever family might remain. Almost no parents had survived. But the children had. Because of her, 2,500 Jewish boys and girls lived to grow up, to marry, to have children and grandchildren of their own—an entire secret branch of the human family tree that the Nazis never managed to cut down.For decades her story stayed buried deeper than the jars themselves. Then, in 1999, four high-school girls in rural Kansas stumbled across a brief mention of her name. They found the old woman still living quietly in Warsaw and brought her courage back into the light. Journalists called her the greatest rescuer of the Holocaust. Irena only shook her head.“I could have saved more,” she said. “That regret follows me to the grave.”Irena Sendler—armed with nothing but a ghetto work permit, a toolbox, and a refusal to look away—proved that even in the heart of the worst evil humanity has ever devised, one determined person can still keep the darkness from winning completely.

This is my cousin Ahuva Lieba Schlossberg from Radin. She was 24 years old when the Nazis came to her town and murdered her parents, husband and extended family. Ahuva Lieba fled to the frozen forests surrounding her town and her fight for survival began. She hid in the forest and survived on anything she could find there. Sometimes she met Polish and Jewish partisans and joined them. When Passover of 1944 approached, even as she lived in the frozen forests of Radin, Lieba began thinking of the upcoming holiday. A young widow in her 20s, she could not even begin to dream about baking matza as any kind of baking and assembling the equipment needed would give off their location to the Germans or Polish locals who would be happy to turn them in for a reward. She decided she would not eat any Chametz despite the fact that much of her nourishment came from the dark, stale bread they were able to fetch from nearby farms. Weeks in advance, she began collecting mushrooms, potatoes, and anything she could get her hands on in a bag so that she can eat those for the eight days of Passover. Lieba hid her bag of vegetables next to a tree in the forest in a secure location only she knew about. Two days before Passover as she was going to check on her secret stash of vegetables, to her horror, Lieba had realized they were no longer there; someone had taken them. Would this Passover be the first time she ate Chametz? Would she have to break her resolution to abstain from eating Chametz? Lieba took one of the last and most precious treasures she had: her deceased mother’s coat and her deceased father’s boots. In the dark of the night and in roundabout ways, lest she be traced or give away their hiding location, Lieba came to the home of a Polish farmer who knew her family and exchanged the coat and boots for a sack of vegetables. Her joy knew no bounds. In the ditch with the few survivors left, she convinced her friends to declare their bread ownerless, boiled snow in their pot to make it Kosher for Passover, and for eight days, they all ate vegetables. Her joy knew no boundaries. She survived this war and attempted to break the British blockade, coming on a ship named Wingate, honoring Charles Orde Wingate. She was deported to Cyprus and came into Israel in 1948. That is the courage and resiliency that has kept our people alive for more than 3000 years. Am Yisrael Chai!
