Requests:  0 Summary:  A Polish Jew on the eve of World War II, Janusz Korczak turned down opportunities for escape in order to stand by the children in his orphanage as they became confined to the Warsaw Ghetto. Dressing them in their Sabbath finest, he led their march to the trains and ultimately perished with his children in Treblinka. Marrin examines not just Korczak's life but his ideology of children: that children are valuable in and of themselves, as individuals. He contrasts this with Adolf Hitler's life and his ideology of children: that children are nothing more than tools of the state. -- adapted from jacket Awards:  YALSA Award for Excellence in Nonfiction for Young Adults finalist, 2020.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status Due Date   Aina Haina Public Library YA -- Biography B Korczak Ma   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library YA -- Nonfiction 940.5318 Korczak Ma   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Manoa Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 940.5318 Korczak Ma   Lost 03/08/2024 Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library YA -- Biography B Korczak Ma   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Wahiawa Public Library YA -- Biography B Korczak Ma   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Wailuku Public Library Adult Biography B Korczak Ma   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Waimea Public Library (Kauai) YA -- Nonfiction 940.5318 Korczak Ma Biography Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
