Irena: Warsaw Life (Irena #3)

1947. Although Nazi Germany has fallen, the nightmare is not over for the Jews of Europe. Persecuted by the Communists and abandoned by the Allies, their road to the promised land of Israel still looks like a long ordeal... Young Oliwka discovers this reality when she is suddenly told as a child that she had been entrusted as a baby to an adoptive family during the war. Her real identity had been changed to escape Nazi persecution, and her real name is Astar Berkenbaum... and she is in fact Jewish. Like thousands of children, she owes her life to one woman: Irena Sendlerowa. This poignant series tells us about the extraordinary fate of one of the greatest heroines of the Second World War.
