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
