Saviour of Warsaw Ghetto dies

Sendler was 98 years old and died in a Warsaw hospital after suffering a long illness. During the war she used her position as a social worker to enter the Jewish ghetto created by the Nazis and smuggle children out. The children were then placed with Polish families outside the ghetto where half a million Jews were contained.
