He famously said that 'children are not the people of tomorrow, but people today.' Korczak was a man ahead of his time, whose work ultimately became the basis for the U.N. Declaration of the Rights of the Child. Korczak was also a Polish Jew on the eve of World War II.

Dressing them in their Sabbath finest, he led their march to the trains and ultimately perished with his children in Treblinka"--Provided by the publisher.
