  During World War II, Irena Sendler, a Polish Catholic social worker, organized a rescue network of fellow social workers to save 2,500 Jewish children from certain death in the Warsaw ghetto. Incredibly, after the war her heroism, like that of many others, was suppressed by communist Poland and remained virtually unknown for sixty years.Unknown, that is, until three high school girls from an economically depressed, rural school district in southeast Kansas stumbled upon a tantalizing reference to Sendler's rescues, which they fashioned into a history project, a play they called Life in a Jar. Their innocent drama was first seen in Kansas, then the Midwest, then New York, Los Angeles, Montreal, and finally Poland, where they elevated Irena Sendler to a national hero, championing her legacy of tolerance and respect for all people.Life in a Jar: The Irena Sendler Project is a Holocaust history and more. It is the inspirational story of Protestant students from Kansas, each called in her own complex way to the history of a Catholic woman who knocked on Jewish doors in the Warsaw ghetto and, in Sendler's own words, "tried to talk the mothers out of their children."

  Nathen Mazri has become like a prisoner for injustice, like a soldier fighting for his life, and like a survivor thriving out of suppression for his freedom. All Nathen wanted was to feel loved, nurtured, larger than life, and never left alone – the basic human conditions. What does it even mean? 
  Destiny is all-knowing, all-mysterious, and all-giving putting Nathen’s desire to succeed and transform against all odds into test as a thinking species rather than a feeling species.

  lead a new forthcoming purpose and movement called, Arabiolosis, which is relatable to 
  human beings worldwide. 
  Once in a lifetime, everyone will experience some form of suppression, the act to stop yourself or 
  someone from living – thinking & feeling, which must be defeated for real positive change in your 
  life, fast. 
  nathen’s fast-forward self-reflection, insights, and grasp to the unedited truth says it as it is – boldly, honestly, and sarcastically.
