They died doing what they loved. I'm sure they were satisfied with what they had accomplished. That satisfaction of having lived a purposeful life is much more important than any praise they might receive as their legacy.

"To save one Jewish child, ten Poles and two Jews had to risk death. To betray that same child and the family that hid him required only one informer or, worse still, one blackmailer. The risk of being caught by the SS was not prison, but death- death for the entire family." -Irena Sendler

I think this is especially beautiful as this is among other things a story of empathy even between generations, Religions and nationalities. We can all learn a bit, always helping others no matter if it's picking up a book or helping people escape death or oppression.
"That is why We ordained for the Children of Israel that whoever takes a life, it will be as if they killed all of humanity; and whoever saves a life, it will be as if they saved all of humanity"
The question is why. Was it due to her being socialist? Poland was a communist country under the Warsaw Pact. You’d think the Soviet government would have lauded her.
@@amandadane868 the poles like anyone who understands the history of the time knows that her story is impossible....but gats views from the fools who frequent this sort of presentation
The then-new government killed most of the resistance fighters and tried to suppress people like Witold Pielecki and so many more. Communists arrested or killed or oppressed anyone who helped during WWII.
In 3rd grade, I found and article about her and was instantly hooked. I wrote my essay about her, and presented it in front of the class. I am so thankful that I was able to honor this true hero.
I love how still after everything happened to her, and how many lives she saved, she didn't take recognition and praise for her work.such a great and generous soul.
Like by throwing a life preserver or calling someone who can swim? Cos jumping into a river when you can't swim to save someone just means two drowning people.
@UCdsxUz5WD4-kNnvYMhM7_fg Yeah, try using the ways that don't involve you also drowning. If it's the thought that counts then put actual thought into how you can actually help the drowning person instead of recklessly diving in and risking two lives instead of one.
I have a hard time deciding which part of Anne Frank's story I feel worse for, the fact that she was murdered in her teens, or the fact that she had her diary published worldwide...

@@asmaatif5868 well that’s both depressing and happy at the same time. Still though, I’ll never understand wanting that myself, though I suppose I didn’t go through half of what she did
There was a whole network of people who saved those children. There is a reason why Irena used the pronoun "we" instead of "I" in her interviews. That said, she deserves as much recognition as Schindler who initially had no qualms about using free labor.
This was also the case with Sir Nicholas Winton. Wishing they could've done more is a great sign of humanity in someone that can burden them for the rest of their life. After seeing the horrors of ww2 you'd have survivor's guilt too
Proud graduate of "Social Work" degree here. People should know more about this job's dedication to save peoples' lives physically, mentally, everything as a whole.
Irena Sendler is an reminder that amidst hate and prejudice in the world; there are those who would risk their lives to make a difference. Truly inspiring.
Our schools need to raise awareness of truly courageous and selfless women like this. She is a inspiration to people all over the world especially to the children whose lives she saved.
Sadly theres not much attention on the resistance and and acts of kindess like this because a lot of the people who did it ended up killed by the nazis :(
I am always in awe of people who were able to identify a sickened society who were able to oppose the tradition and saw it wrong ang unjust, only great minds can do that and in my opinion is thw highest form of intelligence.
Going through physical and mental torture, even sentenced to death, and still not leaking any information AND surviving the end of the war, that feels very special. Her life was a godsend.
I did an essay on this In 7th grade. We had to do an essay about some thing that is very heart touching to us and this is what I chose. Irene is amazing
stories like these are just so awesome and rare i love them, it makes me so happy, i could cry, seeing people selflessly helping less fortunate people. its almost unimaginable what everyone who experienced that had to go through💜
That's great and all because she lived to tell her legend but can you imagine all the other unlucky heroes like her who fell. Never to be heard of again.
Instead of being a trophy for heads of state that often bombed the Middle East or didn’t do their utmost to protect human rights, the Nobel Peace Prize should be given to these individual people that didn’t have the strength of a nation behind them, but did more for human rights and the furtherance of peace than anyone else
Yeah, this is a lesson very worth sharing... thank you very much, TED-ed! It's always nice to hear a foreigner pronouncing Polish surnames correctly... anecdote; Supposedly, one of the ways to get the children out of the ghetto was to hide them on a cart, among the packages.One of Sendler's friends was driving the cart.To prevent the sentries from hearing the crying of the younger children, he would always take a barking, loud dog with him so that he would drown out everything and distract the guards.I was surprised no one said about it ... "Zegota" is shortcut of "Rada Pomocy Żydom", operates thanks to Polskie Państwo Podziemne and the polish autorities in exile.Since we share information, I decided to mention about it. :-) Have a nice day!
This world needs more people like Irena to do what’s right no matter the cost to themselves and without compromise. Not for the fame, but because it’s the right thing to do.
What an incredible human being, her deeds should never be forgotten. I can't begin to imagine how painful it must have been for the parents to let their children be smuggled out of the country, without knowing what would happen to them and if they would ever meet again.
I really admire these kinds of people, not just for their courage, but also their ingenuity. Managing these kinds of operations takes a lot to keep them running and undetected, and if I were in their place, I’d had gotten caught quite quickly.
Her story was taught in senior high school English textbook in Taiwan, which is why I watched this video. Her brave and inspiring story will be remembered.
I have no appropriate word to praise this selfless human's bravery. Hats off to her and all those personalities who work for other's well being without any expectations.
I worked on an art project about Irena Sendler for the Unsung Heroes project for the Lowell Milken Foundation. She's such an inspiration, a true upstanding citizen who doesn't crack under the pressure of surrounding bigotry
She is a hero! From what I could tell all of the kids that she saved has families and even have grandkids and great grandkids! She and many people at the time and future hero’s decades later
The idea of my parents having to leave me for my safety breaks me, I'd rather die with them. I know that the parents and children in this story felt this but a million times worse.
Where giving one dollar to the needy is filmed and announced on video these days, this amazing lady kept this great deed to herself is exactly what the Bible meant with the words, "let your right hand know not what your left hand is doing". God bless her soul.
