Shape note doyenne of Newcastle

97-year-old woman credited with saving 2,500 Jewish children during the Holocaust and honored by parliament at a ceremony during which Poland’s president said she deserves the Nobel Peace Prize.
Sendler led about 20 helpers who smuggled Jewish children out of the Warsaw Ghetto to safety between 1940 and 1943, placing them in Polish families, convents or orphanages.

She wrote the children’s names on slips of paper and buried them in jars in a neighbor’s yard as a record that could help locate their parents after the war. The Nazis arrested her in 1943, but she refused, despite repeated torture, to reveal their names.
