**Januz Jorszak Rescuer**

Janusz Korczak was a Polish Jewish man, who devoted his life to children. He held many jobs. His most memorable job was being in charge of a children’s orphanage in Poland. He also was an author for children’s books, a doctor, and a philosopher.

Korczak had a huge impact on the Holocaust. He was in the war for Poland in 1905 and 1906 as a medical doctor. He also was an author. Doctor and philosopher for children.

The most surprising fact I found was that Januz decided to die with 192 children instead of staying alive and keeping freedom

He also while working in an orphanage allowed the kids to create a Jewish section in the town’s newspaper. In 1939, when [|World War II] erupted, Korczak volunteered to work the Polish Army but was refused due to his age. He the next month saw the [|Wehrmacht] taking over Warsaw. In 1934 Januz’s popular radio show got canceled because of anti-Semites.

In August of 1942 Korczak and about 200 children from the orphanage got arrested by //SS// officers and got sent to Treblinka extermination camp. When he got noticed by a //SS// officer, he was offered to escape beacuse he wrote the officer’s favorite children’s book, but Korczak refused to leave the children. He died the next day.
