Czaplowizna - The fruits of the last Summer - Janusz Korczak´s Orphanage - 1940

Epilogue (1940), the last Summer for the Korczak´s children at Camp Rózyczka.

The letter served as a kind of epilogue (1921-1940) for the Summer Camp Rózyczka. The letter was addressed to German authorities. The document was issued to Jan Zalewski.

"We hereby certify that the potatoes and vegetables are the property of the Orphans Home in Warsaw and are transported to Warsaw to us from our colony in Czaplowizna at 1 Klasztorna Street, Municipality of Wawer."

The only known document, a bilingual letter, is signed by Janusz Korczak with both Goldschmit's and Korczak's signatures. The letter served as a kind of epilogue (1921-1940) for the Summer Camp Rózyczka. The letter was addressed to German authorities. The document was issued to Jan Zalewski. 


Later, Korczak started to use a rubber stamp with both names as a signature!
