The Janusz Korczak Living Heritage Association started. 41 years ago!

Thanks to my mother and father. After beeing in Sweden just for one year they were working actively in their common field - Pedagogy at the Stockholm Teacher's College. At that time Janusz Korczak and his work was almost unknown in Sweden.

My parents did and forwarded first translations of Korczaks works to young Swedish researchers (at that time) and so it started. Place was Stockholm, Svenska Dagbladets house at Kungsholmen.

My parents new friends in Sweden, from the same, 1969-emigration joined them and supported the idea of:

The Janusz Korczak Living Heritage Association 

Föreningen för Janusz Korczaks Levande Arv

Stowarzyszenie Korczakowskiego Dziedzictwa. 
 
They are gone now, all of them.

Each time I am going to my parents grave, I am also visiting their friends graves, I am speaking few words with them as well.
