In the years between WWI and WWII, young Henryk Goldszmidt dreamed of creating a better world for children. As an adult, using the pen name Janusz Korczak, he became a writer, doctor, and an enlightened leader in the field of education, unaware to what use his skills were destined to be put. Dr. Korczak established a Jewish orphanage in Warsaw where he introduced the world to his progressive ideas in child development and children's rights. When the Nazis occupy Warsaw, the orphanage is moved to the ghetto, and when the 200 children in his care are deported, Dr. Korczak famously refuses to be saved, marching with his charges to the train that will take them to their deaths. This biography of Janusz Korczak is a chapter book for elementary school readers and has full color illustrations

Janusz Korczak's Children
A Short but Sweet Biography of a Caring, Tender Man
Janusz Korczak was a champion of children, dedicating his life for them and, in the end, comforting them at the death camp Treblinka. Because this is a book geared toward younger readers, it treats Dr. Korczak's final years with sensitivity. Moreover, Ms. Spielman devotes most of the book to Janusz Korczak's boyhood and his running his orphanage at 92 Krochmalna Street in Warsaw, Poland. Throughout the book, the kind Doctor is portrayed as the caring, sensitive man he was and how he served the children nobody else wanted. I am grateful that this lovely little book was written for children, to introduce them to a caring, heroic man who loved them. His story deserves to be told - and read by children and their lucky parents
