In Memory
Janusz Korczak
On 5 or 6 August 1942 pedagogue, doctor and writer Janusz Korczak, together with Stefania Wilczyńska and the other staff and 192 children of Dom Sierot na Krochmalnej * [the Orphanage on Krochmalna St) were forced by the Nazis to assemble at Umschlagsplatz and were sent (in an overcrowded cattle train) to the Treblinka Death Camp. They were probably murdered on arrival.
During those same few days the children and staff of around 30 orphanages and similar – in all approximately four thousand children - were sent to their deaths.
From 22 July 1942 when the Nazis began their monstrous Großaktion Warschau – the murder of the Jews of the Warsaw Ghetto, over the next weeks, around 300 thousand Jewish men, women and children were killed.
