註釋A biography of Janusz Korczak (the pen-name of Henryk Goldszmit), who was born in Warsaw in 1878. Korczak, a pediatrician, educator, and author of children's books, founded a Jewish orphanage in Warsaw in 1911 with his assistant, Stefania Wilczyńska, and served as its director. Chs. 33-40 (pp. 332-433) describe his activities during the Holocaust, focusing on his efforts on behalf of the children, who were transferred to a building within the ghetto walls in November 1940. At the same time, Korczak was arrested and imprisoned, but he was soon released after some of his friends paid the Nazis a large sum of money. Discusses his concern, and that of Wilczyńska, for the education and welfare of the children, as well as for their spiritual and cultural training. In October 1941 the orphanage was moved to the small ghetto, where it continued to function in very crowded conditions; while there had generally been ca. 100 children in the orphanage, by this time there were ca. 200. During the last months of his life, Korczak wrote a diary, which is often quoted. In August 1942 all of the children were deported along with Korczak and Wilczyńska; Korczak could have remained in the ghetto, but chose to accompany the children to their deaths.
