In the first weeks of Spring, 1941, a dangerous typhus ep-
idemic was taking hold in the most impoverished residential
districts that, unsurprisingly were Jewish. Word was spreading
across Warsaw of plans to establish a Jewish quarter to quar-
antine “infected areas.” The establishment of the ghetto forced
Poles to move out of that area and Jews to move into a confin-

designed for 80,000 inhabitants.

ostensibly to stop the recurrence of the communicable diseases
for which they were blamed, in ugly racist posters that went up

Irena and her friends from Dr. Radlinska’s circle were social
workers. Their involvement in saving Jews came from their abil-

Ala, was the chief nurse in the ghetto, an official appointment
by the Judenrat. The position allowed her a rare ghetto pass and
the right to make professional visits on the streets of the Jewish
quarter after curfew. Irena, as a worker in the Department of
Health and Social Services, also had a pass to enter the ghetto.
