Janusz Korczak (1878-1942), walking ahead of his children to the Treblinka extermination camp on August 5th, 1942, remains one of the most powerful symbols of the atrocities of the Holocaust. Considered to be one of this century’s greatest educators, Janusz Korczak’s legacy, which stands for humanity and the recognition of children’s rights, still lives on around the globe

“Under identical clothes beat a hundred different hearts, and each one is another difficulty, another task, another worry and care.”
