Janusz Korczak, a physician and educator in the Warsaw ghetto, devoted his life to the plight of children, regardless of nationality and religion, refusing to abandon his Jewish orphans when they were taken to the death camps of Treblinka in 1942 at the expense of his own life. He is universally considered a saint and a martyr.
I am not here to be loved and admired, but to act and love. It is not the duty of people to help me, but it is my duty to look after the world, and the people in it – Janusz Korczak
