February Book Club

Last year we read a book called

The Zookeepers Wife

It was a true story during WWII about some zookeepers that used their home as a refuge for Jews. One of those refugees was Irena Sendler (sp?) She SAVED 2500 children and infants and kept their names and the name she aquired for them and the family she gave them to in JARS. She did this so she could reunite the families after the war if the parents were still alive and if they were not alive at least the children would know their heritage. She was caught and tortured and helped to escape. She died at the age of 98 years old in 2004?. What an amazing woman.
