Jeannie Smith is the daughter of Polish Rescuer, Irene Gut Opdyke; who passed away on May 17, 2003.  Irene received international recognition for her actions during the Holocaust while working for a high-ranking German official. Irene's life story was performed on Broadway in the nationally acclaimed play "Irena's Vow," staring Tovah Feldshuh.  Irene's book: "In My Hands, memories of a Holocaust rescuer” gives a detailed account of her life during WW II, and is used in classrooms around the country.
