Summary/Abstract: The periodical Mały Przegląd (1926–1939) was a paper established by Janusz Korczak, and its content was made mainly of letters and reports written by children and young people. This is the only such collection of sources presenting the life of the youngest citizens (mainly of Jewish origin) in the Second Polish Republic. The source has not been used so far, as it poses considerable methodological problems. A large majority of the authors was anonymous, we do not know all members of the editorial board (also of the children’s one) or the rules of selection and edition of texts in their preparation for print.
