Heroism at it's finest.

This is an amazing story of true heroism.

"Irena Sendler turned ninety-seven in 2007. Mrs. Sendler, a Polish woman, saved 2,500 Jewish children during the Holocaust."

She takes the crying baby into her arms, turns her back on the hysterical mother, and walks off into the night. If she's caught, she and the baby will die. "Promise me my child will live!" the mother cries desperately after her. She turns for a moment. "I can't promise that. But I can promise that if he stays with you, he will die."

Read the rest of her story here.
