Irena Sendlerowa, Zofia Kossak and Sister Matylda Getter were strong Polish women and active members of the organization Żegota. Żegota - also known as the "Konrad Żegota Committee" - was a codename for the Polish Council to Aid Jews, an underground organization of Polish resistance in German-occupied Poland from 1942 to 1945. The Council to Aid Jews operated under the auspices of the Polish Government in Exile through the Government Delegation for Poland in Warsaw. Żegota's express purpose was to aid the country's Jews and find places of safety for them in occupied Poland. Poland was the only country in occupied Europe where there existed such a dedicated secret organization.
