Your Life Is Worth Mine - Ewa Kurek

How Polish Nuns Saved Hundreds of Jewish Children in German-Occupied Poland, 1939-1945.

Polish nuns, in nearly 200 religious institutions, including schools and orphanages, saved over 1200 Jewish children. These children arrived at the convents and orphanages in many different ways; some were brought by desperate relatives, family friends, or members of the underground; others were found wandering the streets; still others were abandoned at doorsteps. When taking in these children, the nuns had to weight the risk to themselves and the other children - to decide that the lives of the children were worth their own.
