The Weekly of Orphan Home - Tygodnik Domu Sierot - Every Saturday from 1913 to 1942.

Korczaks wartime writings and diary were saved by my father Pan Misza (Michal Wasserman Wroblewski).

In 1913 Korczak started a children's newspaper in the orphanage at 92 Krochmalna Street - "The Weekly of Orphans Home" (Tygodnik Domu Sierot) covered besides single independent stories also the court, the judgments and the week's activities. The first issues were written by Korczak alone but later "The Weekly of Orphans Home" was co-created by children. This local newspaper became a prototype of The Little Review - "Mały Przegląd" published from 1926 until September 1, 1939. The Little Review), was a weekly supplement to the daily Polish-Jewish Newspaper Nasz Przegląd (Our Review) which was one of its kind – it was written for children by children.

The Weekly Magazine of Korczak's orphanage was edited and typed every week but was read on Saturdays. This procedure was continued in the Warsaw Ghetto. "Please do not dirty or tear" was written on copies of "Tygodnik Dom Sierot".

Every Saturday at Korczaks orphanage, there was a ceremonial reading of the newspaper "The Weekly of Orphans Home" along with the information and announcements. Unfortunately, not a single original copy of this magazine has survived, only reprints in "W Słońcu" where only parts of the original newspaper from 92 Krochmalna were printed.

However, although WWII stopped The Little Review, The Weekly of Orphans Home was edited until the last days of the Orphanage existence in the Warsaw Ghetto, August 1942.

One of the documents written by Korczak in the Warsaw Ghetto shown above was aimed to be read as a part of "The Weekly of Dom Sierot" at the Saturday meeting at Sienna 16. 

We cannot give bread, groats, coal, or clothing. But there is something we can and should give because we have a lot of it. I was in a boarding school at Śliska Street. I told the girls the story of Puss in Boots. I was in the boarding school on Twarda Street and I told a story about Waligóra. They were very pleased and I was glad I could also give something. It's nice to give without taking from anyone, without harming anyone. And it occurred to me that our middle and seniors, or our K.P.R. could introduce an obligation to make the time more enjoyable for children from other boarding schools - maybe at first only from the boarding houses on Śliska and Twarda, where there are fewer children, so there are fewer persons of staff, so the staff is busy, so there are few fairy tales and other entertainment. After fairy tales, there may come checkers and chess, games and crafts. - You can borrow a workshop. I don't know. There are more of you, so you may have more different thoughts, ways, and trials. 

Finally, Korczak wrote: 

I wrote this article for the newspaper because I want us not to be selfish people who take and give nothing.
