This episode is about Janusz Korczak, a Polish Jewish pediatrician, children’s author, and pedagogue. He was a precursor to the work for the rights of the child-man. During the Holocaust, he and his children from the Orphan House were deported to a death camp.
We’ll also hear three recordings I got from the podcast listeners. I’m impressed with how well you speak Polish. I’m waiting for more recordings in Polish!
Polish History
