#34 Irena's Children

Irena's Children
By Tilar J. Mazzeo

Non-fiction. Another book about the Warsaw Ghetto during WWII.

This book is about a Polish woman, Irena Sendler, who helped to save almost 2,500 Jewish children from death by the Nazis. Though I skipped over a lot of the details, the book is a graphic description of the horrors of the Nazi persecution and murder of the Jews in Warsaw, the horrible conditions in the ghetto, and the Polish resistance fighters who set up underground networks of safe houses to save Jewish children.

Rating: 4/5
Recommendation: If the subject interests you.
