Irena Sendler smuggled Jewish children out of the Warsaw Ghetto primarily between 1942 and 1943, during World War II. She was part of a secret network that helped save around 2,500 children by providing them with false identities and shelter outside the ghetto. Sendler's courageous efforts were crucial in protecting these children from the Holocaust. Her actions were largely unknown for many years until they were rediscovered in the early 2000s.
