Sendler's List

Written by  Cary Burkett, witf Host and Producer

Irena Sendler has been referred to as “the female Oskar Schindler”, whose story was made widely known in the film Schindler’s List.  A Polish Catholic, Irena Sendler helped rescue some 2, 500 Jewish children from the Warsaw Ghetto during World War II and saved them from the Nazi death camps.  Her story inspired Paul Millar to write music based on her life. With help from his wife, Elena, a classically trained pianist from Moldava, he has written a collection of pieces called the Irena Sendler Suite. He’ll be giving a multimedia presentation on her life, using his original music, on Wednesday, April 6 at 7 p.m. at the Hershey Medical Center, on the 3rd floor in Lecture Room A.  You can hear an interview with samples of the music below. And check out this YouTube link for more.

Paul and Elena, We are so proud of you. Not only for the beautiful music, but for your dedication to someone who deserves recognition. So many good people go unnoticed in today's world while those who have no place in the limelight seem to steal it all.

God Bless Irena and all of the children she was able to rescue.

Love you,
Cindy & Rick
