During WWII, a group of young Polish women, some barely out of their teens, outfoxed the Nazis to save thousands of Jewish children from certain death. Over half a century later, 95-year-old Irena Sendler tells the true story, long suppressed in Communist Poland, of this daring conspiracy of women who risked their lives in the name of Warsaw's Jewish mothers.
