While packing this evening I watched this Hallmark Hall of Fame special, The Courageous Heart of Irena Sendler on ABC. Irena was a Polish social working during World War II who helped save 2,500 children from the Nazis.
It was a very inspiring story. After it was over, they had a voice over that said the story had it's start in a small town in Kansas. Curious, I went online to see the details. Imagine my surprise when that small town was UNIONTOWN!
You can see the information online at the Hallmark website. Or you can download a document at the following link: Download TCHISBonusMaterial
I'm not sure why I've never heard of this before, but it truly is an amazing story.
