Summary:
In 1912, a well-known doctor and writer named
Janusz
Korczak
designed an extraordinary orphanage for Jewish
children
in Warsaw, Poland. Believing that
children
were capable of governing themselves, he encouraged the orphans to elect a parliament, run a court, and put out their own weekly newspaper. Even when
Korczak
was forced to move the orphanage into the Warsaw Ghetto after Hitler's rise to power, and couldn't afford to buy food and medicine for his charges, he never lost sight of his ideals. Fully committed to giving his
children
as much love as possible during a terrifying time,
Korczak
refused to abandon them. In his most beautiful and heartfelt book to date, Tomek Bogacki tells the
story
of a courageous man who, during one of the grimmest moments in world history, dedicated his life's work, and ultimately his life itself, to
children
.
