Janusz Korczak on the Holocaust. Proposed interpretation of texts

Summary/Abstract: The German occupational authorities clamped a strict information blockade on the Warsaw ghetto. Despite that, the ghetto population had access to information about the fate of the Jews in other parts of Poland thanks to private letters, deportees and escapees from other towns and especially to girls liaising with underground organisations who illegally travelled across Poland. Janusz Korczak maintained contacts with underground fighters and must have been aware of the murder of inhabitants of various localities in Poland. It can be inferred from his latest notes, however, that until the end he did not accept the possibility that the people taken out of Warsaw during the huge campaign of the summer of 1942 were in for instant extermination.
