Schoolgirls take history project to the international stage
csmonitor.com: "The girls called their play 'Life in a Jar.' The count is now up to about 230 performances across the US, Canada, and Poland. The young women, most of whom did not have passports and did not know any Jewish people when they started the project, visited Sendler three times in Warsaw, met diplomats and survivors, and saw Auschwitz and Treblinka."

I think this is actually pretty, cool. Being Jewish, stories of holocaust heroes makes me happy inside but the fact that a simple and somewhat obscure history project can resonate so well with the global community to book over 200 performances around the globe.
It's amazing how much good a single person can do if they are focused, unlike me in this cluster having to listen to Teddy talk about vagina's. The holocaust was always something that interested me when talking about history and a play about people making it out alive sounds like something that I may enjoy. It hits extra meaning when you see that the names of every person and who their family was has been recorded.
2,500 people saved. wow if she rescued 2 children per day every day of the year for 3 years it still would not amount to 2,500. I am proud of the high school students that took this task to honor such a hero as Sendler and feel that there are still many other heroes not recognized for their courageous actions
