✦ Synopsis
Als verpleegkundige wordt de Poolse Irena Sendler in 1942 toegelaten tot het getto van Warschau. Al snel smokkelt ze weeskinderen uit de afgesloten wijk en ze vraagt aan haar familie en vrienden om ze te verbergen. Met de hulp van haar grote liefde, een verzetsstrijder, en een geheim netwerk van vrouwen en moeders weet Irena Sendler uiteindelijk meer dan tweeduizend kinderen uit het getto te bevrijden. De kinderen worden verstopt in grafkisten en via geheime routes door het riool weet Irena met gevaar voor eigen leven de nazi’s te omzeilen. Van elk kind dat ze wist te redden schreef Irena Sendler de naam en ware identiteit op, zodat hun families ze zouden vinden als de oorlog ooit voorbij zou zijn.
