Year 2015, one should not write new legends about Janusz Korczak. Here we can learn that Korczak was sent to the Lublin concentration camp (Majdanek?). Winter clothing on the book cover (see above) is also a misunderstanding. August 5th, 1942, the deportation day to the Treblinka death camp was a hot summer day.
