After the war her heroism was suppressed by communist Poland and remained virtually unknown for 60 years-- until three high school girls from an economically depressed rural school district in southeast Kansas stumbled upon a tantalizing reference to Sendler's rescues, which they fashioned into a history project. 600 10 Sendlerowa, Irena,|d1910-2008|vFiction. 610 20 Rada Pomocy Żydom "Żegota"|vFiction. 610 20 Life in a Jar Project|vFiction. 650 0 Righteous Gentiles in the Holocaust|zPoland|zWarsaw |vFiction. 650 0 Jewish children in the Holocaust|zPoland|zWarsaw|vFiction. 650 0 World War, 1939-1945|xJews|xRescue|zPoland|zWarsaw |vFiction. 650 0 High school students|zKansas|vFiction. 655 7 Biographical fiction.|2lcgft
