Lili Pohlmann's memories of Irena Sendler

Lili Pohlmann, a holocaust survivor and one of Irena's last living friends spoke to Polish Cultural Institute in London about her experiences with Irena and how she helped saved so many.
Few people in the UK may know of Polish humanitarian hero Irena Sendler and the sacrifices she made during World War II. But her story is one of monumental importance and one that Newark and Sherwood District Council, Newark Town Council and the Polish Cultural Institute in London want to share to ensure that her story becomes a legacy that will never be forgotten.
On Saturday 26 June 2021 a statue of Irena Sendler will be unveiled at Newark’s Fountain Gardens on London Road, at a small COVID-secure ceremony.
