Janusz Korczak was a Polish doctor, author of children's books and important pedagogue. He became known above all for his dedication to children. So he accompanied the children of his orphanage when being transported to an extermination camp, although that meant death for himself as well. One of his most famous works is "How to Love a Child", 1919.
