Irena Sendler - The Heart of Zegota
Episode 174
In the darkest days of World War II, when the Nazi regime sought to erase entire communities, one woman defied them—not with weapons, but with courage, deception, and an unbreakable will. Irena Sendler was an ordinary social worker who became an extraordinary hero, risking everything to smuggle Jewish children out of the Warsaw Ghetto. She did this under the watchful eyes of the Gestapo, using clever disguises, secret codes, and sheer nerve.
Arrested, tortured, and sentenced to death, she never broke—never revealed the names of the thousands she had saved. And yet, for decades, her story remained in the shadows.
This is the story of one woman’s quiet defiance against overwhelming evil. It is a story of impossible choices, of sacrifice, and of a legacy that refuses to fade.
Join me as we uncover the incredible life of Irena Sendler—a woman who didn’t just stand against tyranny, but outwitted it.
