Life was hard after Irena's father passed away. Her mother tried her best to provide for them. Her mother tried to run the family's medical clinic. Eventually, they had to close the clinic and move to Piotrkow Trybunalski which was near Warsaw. Piotrkow was a busy market town on the rail line from Warsaw to Vienna. The city was a hotbed of left wing politics and patriotism. Irena and her mother moved into an apartment on Maja Avenue. At the time, Irena was ten years old. Irena was enrolled in the local Middle School. Irena's first boyfriend was Mieczyslaw Sendler. Both Irena and Mieczyslaw enrolled at the University of Warsaw in 1927.
