Mazzeo. When German forces occupying Poland during World War II began isolating and eradicating Warsa w's Jewish population under Hitler's orders\, Irena Sendler\, a young socia l worker\, courageously devoted herself to saving as many people as possibl e. Inspired by the life and work of her professor and mentor\, Dr. Helena R adlińska\, Sendler collaborates with fellow students\, friends\, her forbid den Jewish lover\, Adam\, and countless others to deliver children of all a ges from the hell of the Warsaw ghetto to hidden\, safe spots elsewhere in the city. As the death toll in Warsaw climbs and German soldiers begin look ing for the resistance leader known as "Jolanta\," the risk of what Sendler stands to lose grows ever greater. Yet\, confronted with what seem to be i nsurmountable obstacles\, she continues on with unwavering and awe-inspirin g determination and fortitude in a brave mission of hope that will affect e ntire generations to come.
