The Extraordinary True Story of One Man's Survival in Warsaw, 1939-1945

In 1939, Warsaw was a vibrant and thriving city, home to a large Jewish population. But when the Nazis invaded Poland that September, everything changed. The city was subjected to a brutal occupation, and its Jewish residents were systematically rounded up and sent to concentration camps.

One of those residents was a young man named Janusz Korczak. Korczak was a doctor, teacher, and author, and he was deeply committed to helping children. When the Nazis invaded, he refused to abandon his charges, and he accompanied them to the concentration camp at Treblinka.

Korczak's story is one of extraordinary courage and resilience. In the face of unimaginable horror, he never gave up hope. He continued to care for the children, providing them with medical care, education, and emotional support. He also wrote a number of books, including "When I Am Little Again," which became a classic of children's literature.

Korczak's story is a powerful reminder of the human spirit's ability to endure even the most difficult circumstances. It is a story of hope, courage, and love, and it is a story that should never be forgotten.
