In my heart, Irena Sendler will always remain one of the greatest heroes and one of the greatest examples of humanity during war times. What I am really sorry about is the despicable way she was treated by communist authorities after 1967, when she was fired from her job and had to suffer persecution for having stood up for the Jews against left-wing fascists..She was wonderfully portrayed by Anna Paquin in "The courageous heart of Irene Sendler" a few years ago (the movie ends with an interview to the real Irene Sendler who died a few years ago but was still alive when the movie was made).
