      Irena was a very kind person for risking her own life to save people who she didn’t know. She didn’t do it because she saw herself as a hero but because she knew that helping them was the right thing to do.

      What made her special is she was not very observant of her faith in her youth and did her actions simply because she felt for other human beings regardless of faith. She volunteered and she came so close to dying she had a hood over her head and was led to be hanged. Unfortunately most of the 2500 children she saved were not reunited with their faith or people as she intended because the buried records were stolen. But in contrast to many other righteous people who acted for their faith, because she was not so religious she felt that she could respect the wishes of the families and mothers to promise to return the children at he end of the war to their people which she did for several hundred. She became very religious later in life. Gd blessed her with recognition and a very long life and may she be blessed in Heaven. No greater individual rescuer exists, and she is a role model to all of humanity. Thank you Irena for removing some stain off humanity.

    It bears mentioning that Poland has the most people recognized as "Righteous Among the Nations", because the biggest ghettos were there and all the vernichtungslager were in Poland. In Western Europe it was the French that ended up being the largest group of rescuers - which I always thought was interesting, given history.
