Museum Polin - Please make the necessary corrections - Korczak and the children are under the chestnut tree in Warsaw not at Summer Camp Rózyczka

Using internet it is rather easy to find the certain picture and also the right description of the picture




Using internet it is rather easy to find the certain picture and also the right description of the picture. Here is the picture with the annotation I did 20 years ago. That means 92 Krochmalna street, not the Summer Camp Rózyczka!

The same place, in front of the 92 Krochmalna building. My father Misza Wasserman Wroblewski and the children.

The top pictures and the descriptions are from the Museum Polin and Warsze pages on internet. Pictures and descriptions are supoussed to illustrate the Summer Camp Rózyczka.

However, it is easy to find that descriptions on the two top pictures are wrong. Looking at internet one will easily find the description of the photograph (and photograph itself), a.o. within the site I created 20 years ago:

"Korczak with children and one of the teachers "Wowa" under the chestnut tree. Dom Sierot - Orphans Home, Krochmalna 92. 1934-35".

I must point out that the photography used by Museum Polin on their site called Warsze (top) looks like a bad Xerox copy has wrong description. Again, it is NOT "Summer Camp Rózyczka".
