What a wonderful person he was. Rip Janusz Korczak.

[@kathleenthomas1681]

Ms. Mayerovitcz...he wasn't summing up his life, Dr. Porter was bringing attention to this man as someone we need to know. I for one will now find books about him and learn more of this marvelous selfless man.

I truly admired his ambition to help all children and even through rough patches he prospered and never left children alone

[@jessicaholman3981]

Great video! I loved how his desire to help children continued on, even when things became difficult. Especially how he was freed due to his religion, but refused to leave the children alone.

[@nefriedel]

The reason he was offered freedom, was not his religion. But yes, it is wonderful, that he refused to abandon the children.

The Flora Plonsky Levy Lecture was delivered by Bruno Bettelheim on Janus Korczak at the University of Louisiana, Lafayette, Louisiana. The lecture was published as a booklet in 1986. He was a saint.

In addition, Irena Sendler was also one of the people who offered to hide Korczak.

[@mwitbrot]

My favorite quote of Korczak is: "There are no children - there are people."

[@soroushfetkovich5084]

Such a beautiful story! He was a real Catholic hero just like st. Maximilian Kolbe!

The Nazis gave him a free ticket out of the Warsaw Ghetto and he turned it down.
