Description
You may or may not already know who Janusz Korczak (Henry Goldsmith) was. An anti-Hitler in a way, he saw children as the future and as citizens of today rather than a weapon to be developed and used. His love for the children of Poland made it impossible for him to escape Nazis occupied Poland and save his own life. He remained side-by-side with the orphaned children straight to their deaths at Treblinka. This text is a unique biography that juxtaposes Korczak love of children and their future to Hitler’s use and manipulation of children for his future. Add this text to a modern history course for added literature or to a biography study. End pages include Notes, selected sources, picture credits, and an index. There are black and white photos included all throughout the text. 388 pgs, pb. ~Rebecca
Publisher's Description of Light in the Darkness
Janusz Korczak was more than a good doctor. He was a hero. The Dr. Spock of his day, he established orphanages run on his principle of honoring children and shared his ideas with the public in books and on the radio. He famously said that "children are not the people of tomorrow, but people today." Korczak was a man ahead of his time, whose work ultimately became the basis for the U.N. Declaration of the Rights of the Child.
