Already, the city's poor go hungry. Irena wonders how she will continue to deliver food and supplies to those who need it most, including the forbidden Jews. The answer comes unexpectedly. Dragged from her home in the night, Irena is brought before a Gestapo agent, Klaus Rein, who offers her a position running the city's soup kitchens, all to maintain the illusion of order. Though loath to be working under the Germans, Irena learns there are ways to defy her new employer--including forging documents so that Jewish families receive food intended for Aryans. As Irena grows bolder, her interactions with Klaus become more fraught and perilous. Klaus is unable to prove his suspicions against Irena--yet. But once Warsaw's half-million Jews are confined to the ghetto, awaiting slow starvation or the death camps, Irena realizes that providing food is no longer enough. Recruited by the underground Polish resistance organization Zegota, she carries out an audacious scheme to rescue Jewish children. One by one, they are smuggled out in baskets and garbage carts, or led through dank sewers to safety--every success raising Klaus's ire"--Container. 541 $d 20210122. 600 1 $a Sendlerowa, Irena, $d 1910-2008 $v Fiction. 650 $a Jewish children in the Holocaust $z Warsaw $z Warsaw $v Fiction. 650 $a Righteous Gentiles in the Holocaust $z Warsaw $z Warsaw $v Fiction. 650 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Rescue $x Rescue $z Warsaw $z Warsaw $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Biographical fiction. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. 655 7 $a Audiobooks. 655 7 $a War fiction. 700 $a Nordlinger, Romy, $e narrator. 941 $a 3 945 $a cdab 952 $l AJPE887 $d 20211214010240.0 952 $l UKPD911 $d 20210731010712.0 952 $l KWPE446 $d 20210504014353.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C5B2C8BCAC9F11EBAF53C5C920ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
