Tues 7/02/13 Noon & 7PM The name of Oskar Schindler is well known for saving 1,200 Jews during the Holocaust. Lesser known is Irena Sendler, a Polish Catholic who helped 2,500 Jewish children escape the Warsaw Ghetto. It took over five decades for her story to emerge. It was popularized by Kansas high school students who wrote a 10-minute play called “Life in a Jar.”
Jack Mayer, a Middlebury pediatrician has written about Sendler and the high school girls who resurrected her story. His book is "Life in a Jar: The Irena Sendler Project." He joins us to tell the tale of this hero and the unlikely group who brought her story to life.
Also on the program, two of Vermont’s medical marijuana dispensaries have opened. We get a look at how these new businesses are faring.
