PEOPLE

NOBLE SMUGGLER

This Thursday, Irena Sendler will be honored for her work as a smuggler(偷运者). During World War II, the Polish social worker smuggled nearly 2.500 Jewish children out of the Warsaw ghetto (聚居区). She gave them new identities, found them safe places with good-hearted Christians, and kept the children's real names buried in jars in her neighbors' gardens. (The play, Life in a Jar, based on her story, is being performed.) At 93, Sendler lives in a Warsaw nursing home and is too weak to travel to Washington D. C. to receive the 2003 Jan Karski Award for Valor and Compassion from the American Center of Polish Culture. One of the children she saved will accept the award for her.

You risked your life to save the children.

I was taught by my father that when someone is drowning, you don't ask if they can swim, you just jump in and help. During the war, everyone was drowning, but mostly the Jewish children.

How did you persuade parents to give up their children?

I had to answer honestly that 1 didn't even know if we would get past the guards.

What was the mast frightening moment?

When I saw a priest (牧师) in charge of an orphanage for Jewish children in the ghetto walk with them out to be killed. The children were in their best Sunday suits. The priest was killed with them.

How did you get the children to behave as yon smuggled them out?

I told the older children to act as if they were sick and sometimes gave the younger ones a sleeping pill. They were told to remember their new names. I also told the children to tell guards they had only been visiting a servant in the ghetto and were going back to their real homes outside.

Did you tell your own two children what you did?

I never told them. Only when my daughter went to Israel did she learn all about me. I thought it was only normal to do so. And it was a very painful subject. It was always on my mind that I couldn't do more.

I don’t often lose things and I’m always careful with money, so I was quite surprised when I reached for my wallet and it wasn’t there. At first, I thought it was possible that I could have left it at home. Then I remembered taking it out to pay the taxi, so I knew I had it with me just before I walked into the restaurant. I wondered if it was possible that it could have dropped out of my pocket while I was eating dinner. I turned and walked back to the table where I had been sitting. Unluckily, there were several people sitting at the table at that time, so I had the waiter go over to the table to see if my wallet was on the floor. While the waiter was looking for it, the head of the restaurant came up to me and asked me if anything was wrong. I told him what had happened. He asked me to report the missing wallet to the police. I told him I didn’t want to do so; I was in a hurry because I had to reach my waiting room before two o’clock, where some people were waiting to see me. I also told him that my biggest worry at the moment was how I was going to pay for the meal. He told me not to worry about that. He asked me to write down my name and address, and he said he would send me a bill (帐单).

The writer thought he must have the wallet with him because___________.

Recently I was invited to attend a party that helps children seriously injured in the big earthquake that happened this May. I went because I 31 .
At the party, all the children were given paints in bright, beautiful colors. After a short time, as I 32 , I saw blue clouds, orange sunrises and purple flowers. The 33 were all bright.
The boy sitting next to me was painting a heart, but it was 34 and lifeless. It lacked (缺乏) the bright colors that his fellow (同伴) “_35_” had used.
I thought maybe he took the only paint that was 36 and it just happened to be dark. But when I asked him about it, he said his 37 was that color. I asked him why and he told me that he was very 38 . He looked straight into my eyes and said, “There is 39 anyone can do that will help.”
I certainly 40 why he was sad. I said, “It isn’t 41 that there is nothing anyone can do to help. Other people may not be 42 to make you recover better…but we can do things 43 giving bear hugs (拥抱), which will 44 when you are feeling sad.” I also told him that I’d be happy to give him one 45 he could see what I meant. He immediately gave me a huge hug and I thought my own heart would burst with the 46 I felt for this sweet boy.
As the day was coming to an end, I was getting ready to 47 home. I turned around and found that standing there with 48 on his face was the little boy. He said, “My heart is 49 colors. It is getting brighter. Those 50 really do work.” On my way home I felt my own heart had changed to a brighter color, too.
