Dressing them in their Sabbath finest, he led their march to the trains and ultimately perished with his children in Treblinka. 520 $a A Polish Jew on the eve of World War II, Janusz Korczak turned down opportunities for escape in order to stand by the children in his orphanage as they became confined to the Warsaw Ghetto. Dressing them in their Sabbath finest, he led their march to the trains and ultimately perished with his children in Treblinka. Marrin examines not just Korczak's life but his ideology of children: that children are valuable in and of themselves, as individuals. He contrasts this with Adolf Hitler's life and his ideology of children: that children are nothing more than tools of the state. -- adapted from jacket. 541 $d 20190920. 600 1 $a Korczak, Janusz, $d 1878-1942 $v Juvenile literature. 600 1 $a Korczak, Janusz, $d 1878-1942. 610 2 $a Treblinka (Concentration camp) $v Juvenile literature. 610 2 $a Treblinka (Concentration camp.) 650 $a Pediatricians $z Poland $v Juvenile literature. $v Juvenile literature. 650 $a Pediatricians. 650 $a Holocaust victims $v Juvenile literature. $v Juvenile literature. 650 $a Holocaust victims. 650 4 $a Orphanages $z Warsaw $z Warsaw $x History $v Juvenile literature. 650 4 $a Orphanages $z Warsaw $z Warsaw $x History. 650 $a Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) $v Juvenile literature. 650 $a Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945.) 651 $a Getto warszawskie (Warsaw, Poland) $v Juvenile literature. 651 $a Getto warszawskie (Warsaw, Poland.) 655 7 $a Biographies. 941 $a 30 952 $l OUAX845 $d 20240816051550.0 952 $l CMPE792 $d 20240809014819.0 952 $l DAPG173 $d 20240724014800.0 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240710050538.0 952 $l DPPE403 $d 20240611013644.0 952 $l EYPC755 $d 20240117011237.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012020730.0 952 $l GKPC851 $d 20230228021158.0 952 $l SIPD314 $d 20230201011846.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909060127.0 952 $l YCPD572 $d 20220518023737.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722062142.0 952 $l XSPE157 $d 20210703010742.0 952 $l D8PD522 $d 20210428011215.0 952 $l WHPE115 $d 20210422014153.0 952 $l CZPD706 $d 20210313010136.0 952 $l BZPC851 $d 20210107171715.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20200724010946.0 952 $l PMAX975 $d 20200716013507.0 952 $l YTPG232 $d 20200703012059.0 952 $l OEPC877 $d 20200702123909.0 $m JB 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20200609013118.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20200421011439.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20200409011239.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20200404010103.0 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20200212012248.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110083135.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20200108010135.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20191205011511.0 952 $l KOPC446 $d 20191015012601.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=492E31FCEF1111E98C638A2097128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
