(3) 4-6 Adapted by Mary Cronk Farrell. Irena Sendler was a Christian Polish woman who rescued thousands of Jewish children during WWII. The emotion-filled, narrative-style text includes invented dialogue and attribution of thoughts and feelings; these inserted "fly-on-the-wall" moments were "based on the archives and historical sources," and an adapter's note and copious endnotes provide details. Photographs are interspersed, adding personal faces to the horrifying history.
