Irena's Vow       by Dan Gordon

Jan 24 - Feb 1, 2025

Through the eyes of a courageous and determined young woman, the remarkable story of Irena Gut Opdyke comes alive in this hard-hitting and unrelenting story about the triumphs of the human spirt over devastating tragedy. 

 

At the height of the German occupation of Poland, Irena Gut is promoted to housekeeper of a high-ranking Nazi officer.

When she discovers the Jewish ghetto is to be expunged, she decides to shelter twelve Jewish workers in the basement of the Commander’s house. Over the next two years, Irena uses her wit & humour while summoning all the strength and courage she can muster to conceal her friends in the shadow of house parties, a blackmail scheme, and the birth of a child.

A powerful story of compassion, grace and tenacity, this unrelenting story of hope in the midst of the atrocities of war will inspire!
