What to expect
Inspired by true events, blending white–knuckle suspense with wartime romance, a woman who would become known as the female Schindler risks everything to smuggle children out of the ghetto and away from the grasp of the Gestapo . . .
Warsaw, 1939. The Nazi invasion shatters the city, as Nazi banners rise, hunger gnaws, and walls create a ghetto. SS patrols prowl and trains stand ready for “resettlement” camps of Treblinka.
Granted access to the ghetto as a “public health specialist,” Irena Sendler steps through the gates with forged papers and begins with the smallest, most dangerous act: smuggling children out and away from certain death.
With help from a group of rebels, Jewish residents, and her lover, Irena builds a pipeline under the occupier’s nose, using any means necessary, including the city’s sewers.
At unimaginable personal risk, she keeps one last secret hidden. But if she is caught the truth threatens to remain hidden forever . . .
Inspired by the true story of Irena Sendler, the Polish social worker who helped rescue more than 2,500 Jewish children from the Warsaw Ghetto, The Angel of Warsaw is an unforgettable, heart–stopping tale of resistance, sacrifice, bravery, and love.
