È il diario degli ultimi giorni di vita di Korczak prima del rastrellamento del ghetto di Varsavia nel 1942 (fonte: Google Books) I would recommend this book as a supplement to Korczak's biography or Holocaust literature in general. It has a hard time standing on its own. Part memoirs and part diary, most of the entries are undated and very sketchy, and it's hard to tell what really happened and what is creative fiction on Korczak's part. He was in poor health at the time of writing and much of his diary was basically shorthand which he planned to expand upon later, but he died before he could do so. That said, if you've read The King of Children: the Life and Death of Janusz Korczak and want to get an even closer look at the man, you should read Korczak's ghetto diary. His preoccupations as the Warsaw ghetto is being ground to dust make heavy food for thought. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

Janusz Korczak (1879-1942) is one of the legendary figures to emerge from the Holocaust. A successful pediatrician and well-known author in his native Warsaw, he gave up a brilliant medical career to devote himself to the care of orphans. Like so many other Jews, Korczak was sent into the Warsaw Ghetto after the Nazi occupation of Poland. He immediately set up an orphanage for more than two hundred children. Many of his admirers, Jewish and gentile, offered to rescue him from the ghetto, but Korczak refused to leave his small charges. When the Nazis ordered the children to board a train that was to carry them to the Treblinka death camp, Korczak went with them, despite the Nazis' offer of special treatment. His selfless behavior in caring for these children's lives and deaths has made him beloved throughout the world; he has been honored by UNESCO and commemorated on postage stamps in both Poland and Israel. Korczak's grimly inspiring ghetto diary is now available in paperback for the first time, accompanied by a new introduction by Betty Jean Lifton, the author of the biography of Korczak.
