„Dużo trudu i dużo piękna w życiu internatu”. Z Domu Sierot Janusza Korczaka
“A Lot of Effort and Beauty in the Life of the Boarding House.” From Janusz Korczak’s Orphanage

Summary/Abstract: During 1912–1942 the Orphanage was the main ground of Henryk Goldszmit/Janusz Korczak’s educational practice (1878–1942, physician, educationalist, writer), who was its director non stop since its establishment until the Orphanage’s extermination in Treblinka during the summer 1942 Warsaw ghetto liquidation action. The war losses included not only the casualties but also the institution’s own documentation,which is why all available surviving sources, even those of uncertain origin, are important while researching its history. A copy of undated 20 letters (or diary entries, some in German) of a new young employee, who wrote about the wartime everyday life in the Orphanage during 1940–1941 (original in Beit Lohamei Haghetaot in Israel) is such a source.
