Tilar J. Mazzeo, autora bestseller de The New York Times , nos presenta una historia inspiradora sobre la extraordinaria y apasionante vida de Irena Sendler, una conmovedora versi???n femenina de Oskar Schindler. La historia de una mujer que tom??? grandes riesgos para salvar a 2 500 ni???os de la muerte y la deportaci???n en Polonia, durante la ocupaci???n de los nazis en la Segunda Guerra Mundial. En 1942, a una joven trabajadora social, Irena Sendler, se le concedi??? acceso al gueto de Varsovia como especialista en salud p???blica. Una vez dentro, fue de puerta en puerta para rescatar a los ni???os de las familias jud???as atrapadas en el gueto. Empez??? a sacarlos a escondidas del distrito amurallado, convenciendo a sus amigos y vecinos de que los ocultaran en sus casas. Impulsada a tomar medidas extremas y con la ayuda de una red de comerciantes locales, residentes del gueto y su amante, perteneciente a la resistencia jud???a, ella logr??? salvar a miles de ni???os de los nazis. Irena hizo peligrosos viajes a trav???s de las alcantarillas de la ciudad, ocult??? a los ni???os en ata???des, los coloc??? bajo abrigos en los puestos de control y los condujo a trav???s de pasadizos secretos en edificios abandonados. Y luego mantuvo listas secretas enterradas en botellas debajo de un viejo manzano en el jard???n de la casa de una amiga. En las listas estaban los nombres y las verdaderas identidades de los ni???os jud???os, escritos cuidadosamente con la esperanza de que sus familiares pudieran encontrarlos despu???s de la guerra. Aunque no pudo prever que m???s del noventa por ciento de estas familias morir???a. La vida de Irena Sendler, sin duda, es mucho m???s que una muestra de apego a la vida y cari???o a los ni???os: es un gesto deslumbrante de amor a la humanidad. La cr???tica ha opinado: "Los ni???os de Irena teje en una fascinante historia el relato de una ciudad devastada, la depravaci???n nazi y el extraordinario valor f???sico y moral de aquellos que decidieron responder a la inhumanidad con compasi???n. ???ste es un libro que se queda contigo mucho despu???s de pasar la ???ltima p???gina." -Chaya Deitsch, autora de Here and There: Leaving Hasidism, Keeping My Family - "Un relato fundamental, aunque aterrador, de la historia del Holocausto que hasta ahora era poco conocido: el de c???mo miles de ni???os fueron rescatados del gueto de Varsovia por una mujer polaca con mucho valor y una extraordinaria calidad moral." -Joseph Kanon, autor de Leaving Berlin - "Mazzeo relata un rayo de esperanza en tiempos de desesperaci???n en esta biograf???a conmovedora de una mujer que se neg??? a darse por vencida." - Kirkus Reviews - "Si bien ???sta no es la primera biograf???a de Irena Sendler, su concisi???n y legibilidad presentar???n a muchos lectores a una mujer realmente valiente y notable, quien inici??? y encabez??? "un gran esfuerzo colectivo de decencia." -Publishers Weekly- ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A New York Post Best Book of 2016One of Kirkus Reviews' Ten Most Anticipated Nonfiction Books of Fall 2016From the New York Times bestselling author of The Widow Clicquot comes an extraordinary and gripping account of Irena Sendler--the "female Oskar Schindler"--who took staggering risks to save 2,500 children from death and deportation in Nazi-occupied Poland during World War II.In 1942, one young social worker, Irena Sendler, was granted access to the Warsaw ghetto as a public health specialist.
