That the Parliament notes the heroism of Irena Sendler, who was born on 15 February 1910 and dies on 12 May 2008 and was a Polish social worker and humanitarian who had access to the Warsaw Ghetto and served in the Polish Underground during the Second World War in German-occupied Warsaw; notes that, over four years, she rescued approximately 2,500 Jewish children, and that she was arrested and tortured by the Gestapo before being sentenced to death and subsequently escaping due to the intervention of her colleagues, who bribed the German guards on the way to her execution; further notes that she said later of her exploits, “Heroes do extraordinary things. What I did was not an extraordinary thing. It was normal”, and recognises and commends her bravery and that of her colleagues.
