Israel Reads Korczak

Reading short stories by Janusz Korczak

Israel reads Korczak is a reading project of Janusz Korczak's short stories.

The Korczak Educational Institute of Israel and the Polish Institute in Tel Aviv teamed up to bring Korczak's short stories to the Israeli public in the format of short videos, each presenting a short story written by Janusz Korczak.

In the days of the Covid-19 pandemia, while the public was called to maintain "social distancing", and ever since, this project aims to refresh values such as respect for others, responsibility, decency, honesty, tolerance, empathy, community relations and more, values that Janosz Korczak expressed in his writings and are so important and relevant Even with us, here and now.

Janusz Korczak, a.k.a. Dr. Henrik-Hirsch Goldschmidt, the humanist, democrat, pluralist, the pioneer in the fight for children's rights, wrote tirelessly. His many writings, which include short and long stories, articles, pedagogical texts, journalistic articles, humoresques, feuilletons and plays, were one of the tools he used to convey his messages and express his social and educational worldview,
which is still so relevant today.

Since the midst of the difficult pandemia days and on, over 90 men and women willingly joined this project. Without any compensation they devoted their time and talent and with good will filmed themselves in home conditions reading Korczak's texts, and made the videos available to the public. For this our deepest appreciation and thanks are given to all the readers and to all parties who chose to encourage and support the project and enable its production.

Special thanks to Lital Porat who came up with the idea from the start.
Thanks to Yigal Dekel who filmed many of the videos included on this site.
Thanks to Roni Dotan for his great contribution in promoting the project.

Korczak, the Jewish - Polish physician and educator, was born and raised as Henrik Goldschmidt. Janusz Korczak was his pseudonym from the beginning of his literary career. He was active in Poland in the 1920s and 1930s.
From 1912 to 1942 he ran the Jewish orphanage in Warsaw (Dom Sierot),
and from 1919 to 1939 he was a took part in the pedagogical management of the Polish orphanage "Beiteinu".
In his educational approach, he applied values of respectful attitude toward the child and toward every person, choosing between good and bad, concern for the weak and responsibility towards others.
Korczak was innovative in the pedagogical principles he outlined in the educational frameworks in which he worked, and greatly influenced the development of dialogic education in Poland and worldwide.
Korczak was one of the forerunners of activities for children's rights and equal rights for children. The orphanages he founded and ran were one of the earliest attempts at democratic education, which also included a children's tribunal. One of the pioneers in the field of child and adolescent rehabilitation and educational diagnosis, and the pioneer of research in the field of physical and mental development of the child. Author of books in the field of theory and practice of education, alongside children's books.
He was a Polish Jew who declared all his life that he belonged to both nations. During the Holocaust, when the children of his orphanage in the Warsaw ghetto were sent to Treblinka, he refused a salvation offer to himself alone and chose to die in Treblinka with his protégés, thus becoming one of the great historical-Jewish symbols of our time.
