Where was Janusz Korczak born? - 18 Bielańska street, Warszawa.



18 Bielańska street in Warszawa. Today Trasa W-Z is at that spot, I think. Lenin or Revolution Museum at Pałac Przebendowskich (Radziwiłłów) was at 14 Bielańska street. So the woman on the left in the lower picture is in front of number 18 Bielańska. Synagogue at Tłomackie was rather close to the place where Korczak was born and lived as a child. The building in the photos below is from 1912, build on the spot where Korczak was born in 1878.

Blue/White spot marking place where Korczak was born (or 3-5 m to the left).
