An exceptional, handwritten note by Janusz Korczak addressed directly to the Warsaw board of "Keren Hayesod" (The Palestine Foundation Fund), signed with his legal name, "H. Goldszmit." The document stands as a physical artifact of the Old Doctor's deep, institutional involvement with the Zionist revival movement in pre-war Poland.
