Janusz Korczak hero of the Holocaust


This hero did not live in the past in that he is alive today as memory and as a reality in a sense we do not fully understand. I know and sense the presence of heroes in this twilight as I have not sensed them before.
He operated an orphanage of 250+ orphans in the Warsaw ghetto at the height of its misery during the Nazi occupation.He could have escaped and live in comfort but chose not to. He refused to desert his children,refused to leave them comfortless on the cattlecar to their death and went on the same train as they, to his glory.I am looking to put up a video to this hero on my site arranged for such videos. It is referenced in one of my posts. www.myspace.com/edwardsGallery.
