| Michał Wasserman Wróblewski was called by Korczak and the orphanage pupils as Pan Misza. |
Who is the author of this book? Definitely my father, Michał Wasserman Wróblewski called by Korczak and the orphanage pupils as Pan Misza, but also me. From several dozen sheets of paper densely written by my father, it became a hundred-page book. Each chapter written by my father is additionally accompanied by documents and the history of the Orphanage, Korczak, and his educator, Pan Misza added by me, Roman, his youngest son.
In this way, the events from both narratives overlap, connect, explain, and complement each other. Using photographs and documents placed at the end of the chapters, I have provided a whole range of previously unknown or suppressed information.
In this book, using the vocabulary of the Polish Korczak Association, I have described the main "collapses" of the Korczak Committee during the Stalinist period: the 1950s, when Korczak's books were to be recycled, and the 1960s, when the committee's headquarters at Jasna Street in Warsaw was closed, and many members of the organization left Poland.
I recently discovered numerous documents related to the Korczak Orphanage in archives located on three continents. The truth about the post-war fate of the papers and Korczak's glasses, saved
by my father on August 5, 1942, will be
published in another book next year. Enjoy
reading.
