Korczak disliked to be photographed!



Lejb Buchner, Janusz Korczak and Helena Fliederbaum at Goclawek. Photographed in July 1927.
Arie Buchner was a counselor in Janusz Korczak's orphanage. Helena Fliederbaum was a housewife there.

There are numerous photos taken in July 1927 with Buchner. Maybe he was the one to invite the photographer.

Korczak signed the letter of recommendation concerning Leib Buchner. Buchner worked at the orphanage Dom Sierot as a Hebrew teacher and was conducting gymnastics.
