Janusz Korczak.

You don’t know him, do you?

But after you see this true story, you will remember his name.

He was a hero. Inside the walls of his orphanage he created a world of beauty and grace. In fact, he changed the way we treat children. He empowered them before "empower" was a word.

Outside the walls of his orphanage, the Nazis were menacing the Warsaw Ghetto. Inside, he made theatre and healed. He was both pediatrician and master storyteller. And very funny.

Powerful, tender and inspiring, he stayed with his orphans to the end.

You won’t want to miss this extraordinary story, written by Jeffrey Hatcher, one of America’s leading playwrights.

Anne Frank. Oscar Schindler. Now add Janusz Korczak to your list of heroes.
