Review By – July 25, 2022 The Polish physician and educator Janusz Korczak (1878−1942) was born Henryk Goldszmit and raised in an assimilated Jewish family in Warsaw. Highly influential during his lifetime for his progressive pedagogical methods, he is best known today as the man who accompanied the children from his orphanage into the gas chambers of Treblinka.
On July 18, 1942, the educator, medical doctor, and Polish-Jewish literary personality Janusz Korczak staged a play at his orphanage in the Warsaw Ghetto. The performance of Poczta (The Post Office) was an adaptation of a Bengali play, Dak Ghar, by the playwright and Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore. It’s extraordinary to imagine art flowering in this place and time.
