Janusz Korczak of the Children
Dedicated to physician, educator, and author, Janusz Korczak
“I’m lying in bed, unable to sleep and thinking that had I known then, I would never have wanted to grow up.
It’s a hundred times better to be a child.”
(Korczak, “When I am Little Again,” in The Child’s Right to Respect)
The exhibition "Korczak of the Children" is dedicated to physician, educator, and author, Janusz Korczak.
The story of Korczak's life is told through five three-dimensional installations, each representing a different chapter in Korczak’s life.
These five stations weave together two parallel stories that together paint a whole picture: the Janusz Korczak narrative and the story of the boy named Stasiek from his arrival at the very lively orphanage until the deportation of the children to Treblinka and the picture of the empty orphanage.
