The Doctor Who Wouldn’t Leave the Children

Janusz Korczak was a doctor, a children’s author, an educator and the head of an orphanage near Warsaw in Poland. When the children were moved to the extermination camp Treblinka by the German SS he and his assistant Stefania Wilczyńska refused to leave them and went with them to their certain death.

This monument to his courage and humanity was erected in Günzburg, it was created by Itzchak Belfer who used to live in the orphanage for a while when he was little.
