Janusz Korczak (1878–1942) was an outstanding Polish doctor, teacher and writer. Korczak was an extraordinary man, who devoted his entire life to other people’s children, whom he treated with great love and care. He opened an Orphanage in Warsaw, where children who had lost their parents lived, studied and were raised. Having lived a life worthy of respect, Janusz Korczak died as a hero. When the Nazis occupied Warsaw during World War II, the city's population was persecuted. The Orphans’ House did not escape this fate either. One day, all his students were arrested. Korczak was offered freedom. But how could he leave his children?! Together with them, Janusz Korczak entered the gates of the camp and died in the crematorium fire. One of the writer’s most famous works is the fairy tale “King Matt the First.” This is the story of young Matt, who, having lost his parents at an early age, was forced to take the throne as king. Feeling responsible to his people, Matt, a kind and sympathetic boy, wanted with all his heart to make the lives of the people in his kingdom better. And above all, he thought about the children. But how many difficulties and disappointments awaited him on this difficult but noble path!
