The great European reformer of education Janusz Korczak - born Henryk Goldszmit on July 22, 1878 in Warsaw - was a doctor, writer, educator. In world-famous books, he proclaimed the rights of the child. In his Warsaw children's homes Dom Sierot (orphanage) and Nasz Dom (Our House) he tested the best ideas of European reform pedagogy. The destruction of his life's work began in the September days of 1939, and was completed in the "epoch of stoves". Korczak was deported in the first days of August 1942 with his orphans from the Warsaw Ghetto to the gas chambers of Treblinka. Any suggestion of liberation without his wards refused the doctor. Korczak's current message of the "cause of the child" has been translated into many languages ​​of the world. In 1972, the German book trade posthumously honored the "Jewish-Polish Pestalozzi" with its "Peace Prize". (Text: Prof. Dr. phil Erich Dauzenroth, German Korczak Society e.V., casting)
