By: Janusz Korcak Janusz Korczak


Janusz Korczak was a pen name, and his real name was Henryk Goldszmit. Korczak was born to a Jewish Polish family in Warsaw in 1878, and was active in medical and educational practice and literary works until his death along with the children he cared for in a concentration camp in Treblanca by German troops stationed in Poland during World War II in 1942. He is a person who lived an unusual life caring for, loving, and understanding children throughout his life.

He lived during the period of the educational reform movement that flourished in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. However, it does not seem that he had any direct connection with those movements. He seems to have rather lived in solitude. He has been buried in modern history for a long time. People who knew him in Poland began to make him known, and as his books and life gradually became known across the border one by one, people suddenly discovered him. Beyond Poland and Israel, people became absorbed in him in Germany, Switzerland, France, various countries in Northern Europe, and the United States.

As such, it was not that long ago that numerous large and small papers on his life and thoughts began to be published. In Germany, one of the regions where Korczak research is active, Erich Dauchenroth wrote his biography in 1981, and Wolfgang Pelzer shed light on him again in 1987. Michael Lanhanki was the first to establish Korczak's pedagogy academically (1994). Meanwhile, in the United States, a female researcher published a biography of Korczak in 1988 that can be said to be the most comprehensive to date.
