The Hero Who Chose Children Over His Own Life

If you like this show, please write a review wherever you get your podcasts.

Jonathan Schwab and Yael Steiner read history in children, tracing the life of Janusz Korczak—a Polish-Jewish pediatrician, writer, and educator who ran orphanages in Warsaw, letting kids write newspapers, hold courts, and live as full human beings. When deportation came, he walked 200 children in two straight lines to their fate, refusing safety to stay with them, leaving a legacy of courage, care, and radical childhood dignity.
