DESCRIPTION:
Five Stars Unusually insightful. Increabibly sensitive.. A Short but Sweet Biography of a Caring, Tender Man Janusz Korczak was a champion of children, dedicating his life for them and, in the end, comforting them at the death camp Treblinka. Because this is a book geared toward younger readers, it treats Dr. Korczak's final years with sensitivity. Moreover, Ms. Spielman devotes most of the book to Janusz Korczak's boyhood and his running his orphanage at 92 Krochmalna Street in Warsaw, Poland. Throughout the book, the kind Doctor is portrayed as the caring, sensitive man he was and how he served the children nobody else wanted. I am grateful that this lovely littl. Condensed story This is a great story that has been condensed into a children's storybook. I read the chapter book to our children when living in Poland in preparation to take them to Auschwitz. This book helped prepare my nephew to understand the story he would hear of a holocaust speaker, Alter Wiener. Concise and easy to read. Great first into to the holocaust.
