First was a courthouse on the edge of the Warsaw Ghetto(still standing today) that Sendler would smuggle the children into and get out using underground tunnels. Second was an ambulance the children were smuggled out under a stretcher into the ambulance. Similarly to the last one they used a trolley and the children would hide in a sack or in a suitcase, etc. The final one was children could be taken out through sewer pipe or secret underground passages. Im saying this kind of nonchalantly but here 's a quote from Sendler describing how difficult it was to save the children “To save one Jewish child, ten Poles and two Jews had to risk death. To betray that same child and the family that hid him required only one informer or, worse still, one blackmailer.” Later Irena Sendler became the leader of the Children’s division of the Zegota. In 1943 the German Gestapo arrested and tortured Sendler, trying to make her give up the other Zegota leaders locations. Since

She managed to stay strong when so many jews couldn't. For instance, an incident occurred where boiling hot soup spilled on Marion’s leg, burning her severely.

After researching Irena Sendler, I found myself shocked that I had never heard her mentioned once before in school. Irena Sendler is known for her efforts in helping to rescue Jewish children in Poland during WWII. It is estimated that she assisted in the smuggling and saving of at least 2,500 children from the Warsaw Ghetto, a prison and place of starvation, overpopulation, disease, death, and threats of being sent to concentration camps (p. 4,9). Thanks to her efforts, 2,500 children didn’t have their life stolen and had a chance at the life they deserved.
