Product Description

Netherlands released, PAL/Region 2 DVD: it WILL NOT play on standard US DVD player. You need multi-region PAL/NTSC DVD player to view it in USA/Canada: LANGUAGES: English ( Dolby Digital 5.1 ), Dutch ( Subtitles ), WIDESCREEN, SPECIAL FEATURES: Interactive Menu, Scene Access, SYNOPSIS: Irena Sendler was one of the most remarkable - and most unlikely - heroes of World War II, saving 2500 Jewish children during the German occupation of Poland.As a social worker, Irena had access to the Warsaw Ghetto, making it possible for her to rescue the daughter of a Jewish friend and safely hide the young girl with a Catholic family. Realizing that thousands of children were still in danger, Irena recruited sympathetic friends and co-workers to smuggle children out and place them in safe homes, farms and convents. At great personal risk, she devised extraordinary schemes to sneak the children by Nazi guards, bringing them out in ambulances, suitcases and even wheelbarrows. Irena was eventually captured by the Gestapo. Even after months of torture, she maintained her silence. Her heroic efforts were honored by a nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007. SCREENED/AWARDED AT: Emmy Awards, Golden Globes, ...The Courageous Heart of Irena Sendler ( Miss Irena's Children ) ( The Irena Sendler Story )

4.0 out of 5 stars An interesting if disturbing film
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 4, 2012

A harrowing film concerning the Jewish ghetto in Warsaw during the Second World War - but how could any film on such a topic be otherwise? It seems to give a good insight into one of the dilemmas facing Jewish families there: should they give up their children, from whom they couldn't bear to be separated, to be cared for by unknown Gentile families? Of course, they had no inkling of what awaited them "in the east" - or refused to believe that the horrific rumours could be true - the Germans were after all a "civilised" people. And there were five hundred thousand Jews in the Warsaw ghetto, so the Germans couldn't possible kill all of them ... could they?

The grainy, high-contrast images seem well-chosen for the subject matter. The English soundtrack is mostly excellent, although I had difficulty understanding the whispered speech (my hearing, perhaps?) and the accent of some of the speakers - but that could have been deliberate.

I had no difficulty turning off the Dutch subtitles, using the remote of my DVD player. However, I was not able to find any way of skipping the two trailers for other films at the beginning of the DVD, and if there was a chapters menu or if the DVD contained any extras, I did not find them. It seems to me that it should also be possible for the distributors to provide an English-language insert or jacket for the case. (With due respect to my Dutch friends, even they will recognise that Dutch is not a language that is widely spoken outside Holland.)

I could not keep track of who was who at some points in the film, especially some of the adult males who interacted with Irena Sendler. Perhaps if I had read the book on which the film was based I would not have had this difficulty, but then a film should be comprehensible for those who have not read the book.

There is at least one other film on Irena Sendler("Irena Sendler: In the Name of Their Mothers"), but I have not seen it, so cannot make a comparison.

For those interested in the Second World War and in particular in the treatment of Jews by the Nazis, this is highly recommended. As an account of the contribution of Polish non-Jews to the protection and rescuing of children and in particular as an insight into the role played by this brave young lady, it deserves to be viewed.

I Watched this Film after reading about Irena Sendler and her story in the book "Life In a Jar " firstly the sound was quite poor and this was annoying. The film does not tell her full story in depth or show & explain how badly the Jewish people were treated by the Nazis as the book does, and so because of this I was disappointed, BUT saying this I did enjoy the film and would recommend you watch this as it is an amazing story of a really wonderful and courageous women

5.0 out of 5 stars HEART WARMING
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 2, 2015

Such a wonderful, inspiring , touching movie - a true story of the life of Irena Sendler ((played by the beautiful Anna Paquin) - a Polish Catholic nurse who risked life and limb - discouraged by her work colleagues, mother and parish priest-to save 1 500 Jewish children in the Warsaw Ghetto from the clutches of the Satanic Nazi death machine.
While the movie does not depict the more graphic details of the Holocaust, it does show the pathos and pain of families torn apart, the anguish of the parents and the bewilderment and terror of the children.
Sendler succeeded in smuggling approximately 2,500 Jewish children to safety. She was part of the rescue network called Zegota which existed to rescue Jews from the Nazi clutches
she was however caught by the Nazis and horrifically tortured , before being released by a German guard who had been bribed by the Polish underground.
The end of the movie shows an interview with Irena in 2009 where she expresses regret that she could not save more children
