Irena Sendler - A Chautauqua Performance
Friday, June 9, 2023
As a Polish Catholic Social Worker during WWII, Irena Sendler risked her life to save 2500 Jewish children from the Warsaw Ghetto. She was the leader of the children’s section of Zegota, Council for Aid to Jews, and part of the Polish underground. Irena never thought of herself as a hero, and said she simply did what needed to be done. Born in 1910 and died in Warsaw in 2008. Irena received many humanitarian awards. Portrayed by Judy Winnick. During Judy’s teaching career, she received one of Colorado’s Distinguished Teacher Awards. Lunch will be served.
