«Los niños de Irena» is the biographical essay by Tilar J. Mazzeo, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardcover (350 pages, in Spanish).
The work reconstructs the story of Irena Sendler, the Polish social worker who during the Second World War organized a clandestine network in Warsaw to smuggle Jewish children out of the ghetto and provide them with false identities with which they could survive. Mazzeo combines historical research and narrative to show how the operation worked, the complicities that made it possible and the consequences for its participants, giving voice to the testimonies of the rescued children.
Original title: «Irena's children». Translation by Elena Preciado Gutiérrez. Irena Sendler (1910-2008) was recognized as Righteous Among the Nations. Includes bibliography.
