Janusz Korczak dedicated his life to his passion: education. This doctor and writer never let go of the hands of the children he cared for, even when they were deported.

Janus Korczak is an impassioned humanist who dared to proclaim that "A child does not become a person, but is already one." During the Great War, and then the Nazi atrocities that were a denial of humanity, Korczak "invented" children's rights. Doctor, writer, and educator, he innovated in an orphanage he founded with rules for living developed in concernt with children, a collective journal they would collaboratively write, stories to enhance learning... His was the flag 150 Jewish children from the orphanage wore when they left for the death camps, Korczak beside them.
