The Irena Sendler Project: Life in a Jar
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 лип 2024
- In 1999, in Uniontown Kansas, high school teacher Norm Conard and a handful of students stumbled across an unknown hero from the holocaust, Irena Sendler. A research project intended for the classroom soon sparked the interest of the world, and forever changed the lives of everyone involved. This is the Kansas side of the story.
K-state College of Education graduate Sabrina Murphy shares in her experiences with Mr. Conard and project member Megan Felt. For more information about the Irena Sendler Project please visit www.irenasendler.com

I am so glad I found your video. This year's theme for NHD is Taking a Stand, and I am doing her this year. She fits in perfectly, and I'm so happy that I found your website.
Thank you, and glad you were able find Irena's Story. For more information on her Kansas Connection you can check out: www.irenasendler.org
i am doing her for nhd this year too so ur my competition. Good luck!
lol thx u too!
amazing story
Silverstream omg, I'm doing Irena, too!
I am Polish, and I am really glad that people started talking / searching information about how Polish people helped others during this horrible time, even though for them this time was extremely tough too...
I am, also. My family tree lost quite a few branches during that time and before due to Russia and German greed and atrocities.
I pray I can be at least half of what this woman was. RIP, Irena.
With that desire in your heart, believe me, you are not only blessed with beauty, but also with a heart of gold... GOD Bless you...
Rest in peace Irena
I'd happily settle for 1%.
David Burton exactly
me too
I just watched the Irena Sendler movie...this is an amazing testimony to a loving women who knew God's children needed to be saved for the future. Thank you for this follow up video. Thank you for your project as well! The world needs to know!
Thank you Erene!
Nobel Peace Prize. Nominated 2 times in 2007 and 2008. Al Gore was awarded the 2007 prize for a documentary film. The 2008 award went to Martti Ahtisaari, a banker. This world is strange.
This kind of courage is almost incomprehensible. It borders on a death wish. To save one child, maybe two, was risky and nerve-racking enough to drain one of all strength. The fear must have been petrifying. Yet she did it over and over again. That fact that she survived and carried on is miraculous. People died all around, shot on the spot for the slightest transgressions against the Germans, or for no reason other than being Jewish or Polish. I wonder how many of us could say, that in time of need we would risk our lives to save the life of a stranger. I want to believe I would have the courage and the strength, but I cannot be certain. When we pay homage to Ms. Sendler, let's not forget about all those who worked with her to save so many lives. She didn't do it alone. Irena Sendler and the people whose help she enlisted are an inspiration.
Agreed. She had so many helpers. Hopefully we will continue to see more stories told about all of them. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on such a powerful topic.

Thank you for the video and the wonderful work you are doing.
+K-State College of Education... I have read 'Life in a Jar' and watched 'The Courageous Heart of Irena Sendler.' I would love to see more documentary about her.
@@KStateCollegeofEducation I have not yet read life in a jar or seen the play but my guess is that she did not have much fear .
I think that is why sometimes there are extraordinary heroes and heroines like Irena because they just don't have as much fear as the average person and that is why they are genuinely Fearless Angel's.
I came here after seeing a short one minute long vid about her
It's a miracle those high school girls got to meet Irena. They worked on that project for a year assuming she was long dead.
I am not an American but I must say I am so glad these three young women chose to dedicate themselves to remind the world of one of the most beautiful people that has ever lived. I am currently reading the book on Irena Sendler and it's awe inspiring. I also appreciate their professor. He inspired his students into committing themselves to a project that would introduce the world to this great woman. Not many teachers inspire such creativity and dedication. In today's world, we need more of such reminders of the kind and powerfully empathetic people who restore our faith in the goodness of humankind. Thank you for your amazing work.
Since reading about Irena Sendler's story, I have spent many days researching and reading her story. It was only today that I saw that her project was initiated in Kansas. I am proud to say that I earned my Ed.D. at Kansas State University and am now, currently, Professor Emerita at McPherson College in Kansas.
Re: Irena's story - It is very inspiring. I, personally, was deeply affected during my junior high years when my family learned to know a Holocaust survivor who escaped Hitler's Germany. Again and again, Mr. Fischoff would sit me down and say, "Take a seat, Cheanie girl. I must tell you my story. You must listen." And then, he went into great detail, telling me all that he suffered. Our friendship with Mr. Fischoff and his wife, Johanna, sensitized me forever. Johanna was his second wife, as his first died in a concentration camp in Germany.
This story about Irena is truly amazing. Mr. Conrad, I am thrilled that you are inspiring today's youth to stand up for for the forsaken.
A final question: Will the film be distributed country-wide? I would love to see it here in Kansas, but I have many brothers and sisters living in Pennsylvania who would like to see it, also.
This particular video is playing on KTWU locally. If you want to see more about Irena Sendler there are number of documentaries just about her life as well as a Hallmark Movie that came out a few years ago. We can send you a few links if you need.
i don't know her but I love her
You guys were so lucky to have met her! :)
In 1991 I, also, graduated from Kansas State University. Thus, I am duly moved at how your students investigated and worked together to glean Irena Sendler's story. Irena's story is the kind of writing that I like to assign to my students, as they learn much about doing what's right from real-life models. Irena, I salute you today for all you did to passage these children to safety.
To the students who gleaned her story: Your efforts and Irena's sacrifice will live on forever. Thank you!

I’m literally in tears...thank you for your persistence in uncovering this gem. God sent you 3 to Irene right when she needed you the most. Great job!!
An angel of light in a world full of darkness. May The Lord bless her soul
Amen... and may HE Bless yours also...
Irena Sendler is my hero...
Mine too! What a beautiful soul! A real life hero.
SO beautiful that is so amazing you had the privilege of meeting such a beautiful and gracious human being this reminds me that there is still hope left in this world and good will always win evil
Thank you very much for this video. Thank you for this project. You guys were so lucky to have met her! :)
It is a blessing to know about Irena and her story. She did all she could to save thousands of children despite knowing that it is going to cost her life if they find out. Truly inspiring, a true hero. I feel so honor to be following her footpath to become a nurse and will try my best to save as many people as I possibly can. Thank you Irena!
I am also so happy that I met Irena Sendler through this video. Thank you very much for starting a "choir" so that the world will be able to sing the courage and kindness of this unsung hero.
I can't believe more people don't know about Irena Sendler. Great documentary. Please continue making more in hopes of more people learning about her.
Absolutely amazing! Beautiful soul. :'-)
WOW! I am blessed today by learning of Irena Sendler! G-d uses you where you are, a fact proven by Irena. Thank you for sharing.
Of course the history of this story is amazing and must never be forgotten. I am equally impressed with the insight of teacher, Norm Conard. He is celebrated for presenting this model of educating young people. Audrey Hubbard
forever in memory ..
What an amazing and powerful example of project based learning
Thanks U for bringing up her story worldwide :)
+m.struk Ciao bella figa!
As a training teacher in Australia; I have so many words - but my tears of the beauty of Irena, the encouragement of Norm Conard, and the drive of the young teens, have overrun me! Well done, and thank you for reminding me just what PBL can do for my students when I'm teaching one day :)
just finished the book. truly one of the most powerful stories i have ever read and thank you to these women to bringing her story to light. Irena Sendler is a saint. God bless her and everyone involved with her rescues, and this project.
Glory to Irena and her parents. Glory to those kids doing that project, that they gave her love in her last days...
Everyone gave up like an franks name but she, man she was sooooooo much devoted to saving kids and it makes me cry like damn
She is a real life Wonder Woman, (Super Heroin), God bless your soul...Irene...
They brought this to our community, Hampden, Maine, and I was fortunate enough to see the play last night. What an amazing story and a wonderful project!
Thank you so much for sharing this.. Irena truly was an inspirational brave woman! Facing so many odds stacked so highly against her but still staying strong and moving on
...
I'm so touched
First prize for best video on UA-cam! Inspiring ... leaves one speechless!
You are blessed to have met her, and we are blessed to hear that story!
Thank you so much. Everyone involved in this story is truly amazing. We were just blessed to have had a chance to interview them.
I was about to finish the work for my third photo exhibition with the title "respect Life - Eine Begegnung mit Warschau" when I came across your film and with it, came to know about Irena Sendler. Of course I needed a dedication for her in form of a photo; you can see it here:

Thank you once again!
What a truly beautiful story... the loving, merciful and brave heart of Irena... shows without a doubt "that one person, regardless of who they are, can make a difference"...
The concept of "project or performance based learning" is a new concept for me here in Mexico... I thank all of you for that, but above all, for this unforgettable and life changing story... about how the love for others is the only way to change this ever so violent world... coming from someone who has seen some very gruesome things happen here in our country... The land that many of the descendants of the "judío sefarditas" who came with El General Hernán Cortéz, as soldiers, now call home...May YESHUA bless her greatly...Amen...
Thank you for this project. It's good to know that someone else cares about the past. We have to remember about our history, because Irena Sendler did something human and lot of people did it too (for example Janusz Korczak). With best wishes from Poland.
Whoever save one life saves the entire world. RIP Irena.
Beauty of human spirit!
Irena Sendler was an astonishing woman who inspired and saved thousands.
If I didn't read the book Irena's Children for school, I might have
never came upon this amazing Polish woman. Yeah yeah, this is all mushy
and cheesy but this woman was real. All of this happened, so don't just
shove it aside and leave it there to rot. Invite this into your heart
and let it affect everything you do. Irena Sendler said that her actions
were normal. She meant they should be normal. And I have never agreed
more to any words I have heard. And I never will.

This is very special, warranting deep self-reflection. What can we, as individuals, do to help make this nation and world more Christ-like by lifting others and rescuing where called for.
Irena is a Hero. Love & respect.

I wish Elizabeth was also part of this video. The group comprised of three girls so I missed that.
We wish she was here when we recorded the interviews years ago. We heard so many wonderful thing about her.
@@KStateCollegeofEducation That's incredible. Thanks for the update.
We are going to study about Irena in the class
I'm Renee, I'm 12 years old. Today, in Hebrew we watched this video. I was so amazed on how you guys found her and got to see her. I was wondering if I could contact the people in this video?
Thank you for reaching our Renee, You can get in contact with Megan at this website: lowellmilkencenter.org/about-us/

I pray bless Irena I wish I met her I should've Ben there I was born 2007 May 1
Who the #%!& dislikes something like this?
Really someone disliked this courageous womans story...how disrespectful....😥
I thought the same thing..but remember there will always be evil
GOD Bless the dear lady.. I'm sure that the parents of those kids saved by her - gave her a hand getting used to her new "life"... obama... Sad this cuntry honors trash - before such a Heroic woman.. Wish I had known her..!!
Rest in peace Penny Griffin and Irena
A great WOMAN -so different from the November 2016, LOST president!
And glory to God who I belevie inspired all of that..
Al Gore got the Nobel Peace Prize for just presenting some facts we already know. Irena should have won. But politics and money as always rule.
Grande instrumento de Deus para salvação da humanidade!
Y un instrumento que fué recibido con los brazos bién abiertos por YAHVÉ...
Any SMIC students here?
My shero!!
I am an open atheist...but I am not ignorant to the fact that there is much beauty inside a human soul capable of doing such great things for others regardless religion, gender, or race...God and Satan both live inside our souls ..Irena allowed God ruled over Satan through her kindness and inconditional love for others
Irena Sendler była bohaterką ale chyba nie tak wielką jak Jadwiga Piotrowska.
