WOMEN OF THE ELCA SPRING BANQUET
On Wednesday, May 16, 2018. Alice Bertels retraced the steps of Irena Sendler, subject of an award-winning book titled “Life in a Jar”. Sendler was “discovered” through a National History Project which culminated in a play about her life. She was a Polish Catholic social worker, organized a rescue network of fellow social workers to save 2,500 Jewish children who were living in the Warsaw ghetto during the Holocaust. Her story was suppressed by communist Poland for more than 60 years until three students from southeast Kansas brought it to life. For more details visit www.irenasendler.org.
