The Ghetto Fighters House Archives / Korczak related documents and photos.

                  


Most interesting photos and documents concerning Korczak and his orphanage survived outside Poland.

Some of them were brought before WWII started and numerous after WWII ended. The origin of the documents was most often former pupils from Dom Sierot orphanage. 

I found it important to investigate and correct the writing on the back of the photos, now of copies at the Photography Archives at Ghetto Fighters Archives in Israel. Annotations are most often in Polish and in Hebrew. Above photo has the following  annotation in Hebrew. Korczak w towarzystwie swoich dzieci w siedzibie letniej Gocławek.  Gocławek is actually crossed out. Below the crossed our word there is written another information. Korczak among children at the yard of Dom Sierot orphanage.

Of course it is Korczak summer camp at Goclawek and not Dom Sierot in Warszawa.
