         What does the word unsung hero mean? The word unsung hero means a person that has courage and a person that has risked or sacrificed their life to try and help others, but never got noticed or thanked. One of the biggest unsung heroes in this world would be Irena Sendler.


 

          During the war Irena saw a situation that she viewed as unjust and took matters into her own hands .Irena felt the way the Germans were killing the Jews was wrong and so she helped Jewish children go into hiding during this time. Irena had her and her family to take care of but decided to go and help other people. This action put her and her family in grave danger, but she didn’t stop doing what she felt was right.

 
       
 Irena sacrificed her life to help others and had the courage to do all of this without thinking twice. Her devotion to the Jewish children that she saved is a lesson for all generations to admire.
