Korczak and the Ghetto's Children.

Korczak and the Ghetto's Children, sculpture by Boris Saktsier (1978), Yad Vashem Memorial, Israel. Janusz Korczak, the pen name of Henryk Goldszmit, (1878- 1942), was a Polish-Jewish educator, children's author, and paediatrician. After spending many years working as director of an orphanage in Warsaw, he refused sanctuary repeatedly and stayed with his orphans when the entire population of the institution was sent from the Ghetto to the Treblinka extermination camp, during the Grossaktion Warsaw of 1942.
