HerStory is Untold/Ignored Great Women In HistoryAs great as Rosa parks, Anne Frank and Sacagawea are, there are some other women in history that are not too recognized for what they did.
* Name: Irena Sendler
* Year of birth: 1910
* When she started her work: 1942
* What she did: She helped rescue 2500 (and yes that’s 2500) Jewish children and babies escape the Nazi death camps and what is so great is the fact that she is not Jewish and has no really close relation to Jews. “I was taught that if a man is drowning, it is irrelevant what is his religion or nationality” Sendler states “One must help him. It is a need of the heart.” Although this quote is leaning to the male gender, it is extremely deep (and she probably would have meant women too).
