Opis produktu

Janusz Korczak (18791942) is one of the legendary figures to emerge from the Holocaust. A successful paediatrician and wellknown author in his native Warsaw he gave up a brilliant medical career to devote himself to the care of orphans. Like so many other Jews Korczak was sent into the Warsaw Ghetto after the Nazi occupation of Poland. He immediately set up an orphanage for more than 200 children. Many of his admirers Jewish and Gentile offered to rescue him from the ghetto but Korczak refused to leave his small charges. When the Nazis ordered the children to board a train that was to carry them to the Treblinka death camp Korczak went with them despite the Nazis offer of special treatment. His selfless behaviour in caring for these childrens lives and deaths has made him beloved throughout the world: he has been honoured by UNESCO and commemorated on postage stamps in both Poland and Israel. This volume constitutes Korczaks grimly inspiring ghetto diary accompanied by a new introduction by Betty Jean Lifton the author of the biography of Korczak.Korczaks diary is a moving piece of literature and an indispensable insight into life inside the ghetto. The quality of his testimony contemporaneous with the events he lived is powerful poignant and moving Michael Berenbaum
