Life in a Jar: An Unsung Heroine of the Holocaust
OCTOBER 27, 2008 MONDAY AT 3PM CT

 
 
If it had not been for three high school girls in Kansas, we might never have known about the work of Irene Sendler, an unsung heroine of the Holocaust. A Polish Catholic social worker, she saved about 2,500 Jewish children from the Warsaw ghetto. We will talk with one of the girls, Sendler's translator and the state of anti-semitism in Poland today.

Guest
  • Kinga Krzeminska: translator for Irena Sendler and supporter of the Life in a Jar Project
  • Megan Felt: member of the class that started the Life in a Jar Project
