Considered a classic, 'Ghetto Diary' is an invaluable autobiographical testimony by Janusz Korczak, a world-renowned pediatrician and author. In his native Warsaw, Korczak gave up a promising scientific career to dedicate himself to the care of orphans. After the Nazi occupation of Poland, he was sent to the Warsaw Ghetto, where he ran an orphanage for two hundred children. Despite having the opportunity to escape, Korczak chose to stay with the children, accompanying them on the train that took them to the Treblinka extermination camp. Janusz Korczak is a legendary figure of the Holocaust, a writer, doctor, social activist and educator who gave his life for the children.
Janusz Korczak, the pen name of Henryk Goldszmit, was a Polish Jewish pediatrician, educator, children's author and pedagogue known as Pan Doktor or Stary Doktor. He was an early children's rights advocate, in 1919 drafting a children's constitution.
