Warsaw, Poland.
She saved 2500 Jewish children in WWII. She smuggled them out of the ghetto in coffins, wheelbarrows, ambulances, suitcases, sewer pipes, etc., and gave them to Christian families. She wrote their names, where she hid them, and their real parents' names on paper and buried them in jars so she could return the children after the war. She got caught and was tortured for three months, having her legs and feet broken. Her friends in the Polish underground bribed a guard to help her escape. She went back to saving Jewish children until the war ended.
