With all that is going on in the world, I felt Irena Sendler was a most appropriate choice for my Strong and Courageous woman of the week.
I don't know if I first learned about Irena via one of the amazing Girls Can Crate boxes or from a "Goodnight Rebel Girls" stories but her strength and courage BLEW ME AWAY!! Basically Irena risked her life every day by going in to the Warsaw ghetto to sneak out Jewish babies!!!! Her story is absolutely, amazingly beautiful!
