Being German, she KNEW what the Nazi’s

She also had a dog in
the back that she trained to bark when the Nazi
soldiers let her in and out of the ghetto.
The soldiers of course
wanted nothing to do with the dog and the
barking covered the kids/infants noises.
During her time of doing
this, she managed to smuggle out and save 2500
kids/infants.
She was caught, and the
Nazi’s broke both her legs, arms and beat her
severely.
Irena kept a record of
the names of all the kids she smuggled out and
kept them in a glass jar, buried under a tree in
her back yard.
