Irena Sendler
Posing as a sanitation inspector, Irena Sendler carried Jewish children out of the Warsaw Ghetto in toolboxes and ambulances, and recorded their true names so families could one day be reunited.

“I chose Irena Sendler because she thought past the rescue to the reunion — she buried the children's real names in jars so families could one day find each other. That tenderness inside the danger is the whole story, and amplifying it carries the Lowell Milken Center's work of surfacing unsung heroes forward.”
