70th anniversary of the death of Janusz Korczak In August 2012 we will celebrate the 70th anniversary of the death of Janusz Korczak and the one hundredth anniversary of the orphanage established by him, which was located in Krochmalna Street in Warsaw. This year Poland celebrates the life and works of Henryk Goldszmit, better known by his pseudonym Janusz Korczak. He is remembered today primarily for his contributions to education as a great authority when it came to custodial pedagogy, yet he was an accomplished writer as well, taking on a range of literary forms to pursue varied social topics, from medicine and pedagogy to hygiene, politics and interpersonal relationships. The Korczak Year ushers in a series of events and publications in honour of his contribution to literature and science. |
