Welcome to Litsy!

A teacher, community leader, and respected doctor, 60 yo Janusz Korczas runs an orphanage. He and his team desperately try to save the children from disease, starvation and Nazi persecution in 1939 Poland. Tender, philosophical, authentic 💔

This is one of the many novels written about the remarkable people that lived in WW2. Janusz Korczak loved children. He lived for them, and died in Treblinka trying to save them. One thing I liked about this book is that the author did not shy away from the horror that the holocaust was. Based on real events in the Warsaw Ghetto. Recommend.

Currently.

The husband fell asleep reading with Aine. I‘m so happy to see him reading books with me again!

I loved reading about the story of a real life hero whose journals were found and used as the basis of the book.
It made me wonder how will future generations know the stories of current people. Will they paste together info from FB, IG and TikTok‘s?
Or will their actions be lost to time?
