Sisters Dycia and Dora Goldgraber were reporters and a members of the editorial board of Mały Przegląd (The Little Review)


Dycia Goldgraber was a writer for the youth and children's newspaper Mały Przegląd (The Little Review). Above, photographed in 1935. Dycia Goldgraber was also a regular reporter and a member of the editorial board (as a youth representative) between the years 1935 - 1939.

She perished in the Holocaust as most of the editorial board members.

Janusz Korczaks "three institutions" were, two Orphan houses and one children´s newspaper Mały Przegląd - The Little Review. They were run according to Janusz Korczak’s original conception of a self-governing children’s society with its own institutions—a parliament, court, newspaper, and a system of assigned duties or division of labor - that promoted law and order, active participation, and care of children by other children.

The third “institution” established by Korczak was his children’s newspaper Mały Przegląd (The Little Review), which was issued from 1926 to 1939 as a weekly supplement to the General Zionist daily Nasz Przegląd (Our Review). This project was based upon the premise that “children [should] write for children” without the mediation of adults.
