Kohlberg wrote the following:
Janusz Korczak ... died during the Warsaw Ghetto uprising of World War II. For many years Korczak, trained as a pediatrician, had directed two orphanage schools in Warsaw, one for Christian children and one for Jewish children, expressing a universal concern that went beyond his Jewish heritage...
On the morning of August 6, 1942, German and Ukrainian guards surrounded the orphanage as part of the plan for elimination of "non-productive elements" to the Treblinka death camp. Prepared for death, Korczak led the 200 children from his own orphanage to the train station where the freight cars waited.
Wrong: "died during the Warsaw Ghetto uprising of World War II".
Right: The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising took place in April-May 1943.
Wrong: "On the morning of August 6, 1942, German and Ukrainian guards".
Right: The deportation occurred on the morning of August 5th, 1942.
