"//Correcting the world is possible if we correct our children//" Janusz korczak once wrote, and it was true of him. It was Janusz Korczak's most famous sentence. Janusz Korczak- Henryk Goldszmit was born in Warsaw on [|July 22], [|1878] or [|1879] , to his parents: Josef Goldszmit and Cecylia Glebicki. He grew up in a non-Jewish home. He was a Polish-Jewish children's, writer and educator  all his life dedicated for the children. He died in the Holocaust  and left behind a better world. He wanted to build the orphanage because he had visited another orphanage and saw the bad attitude of the management to the children. He thought that this has to be changed. In 1911 he became a director of an orphanage in Warsaw to Jewish childeren. The name of the orphanage was: // Dom Sierot  //. There, he developed the ideas of a peaceful and   classless society. In 1919, he created another children's house called, //Nasz Dom,//  which means "our house." In Janusz Korczak ‘s orphanage poor and abandoned children grew up. The children were over seven years old and were all healthy. When the child was 14 years old he had to leave the orphanage because there was a long waitting list. The good life in the orphanage gave the children free time and equality. All the children wore uniforms because Korczak did not want the children to feel ashamed that their family didn’t send them clothes. Korczak was the hairdresser and the doctor of the orphanage and took care of the children. Once a week, the children got a visit from their family. They learned in a school in the area of the orphanage. Korczak made sure that the children were always clean and gave prize s to the especially clean children. Korczak playd with the children and made with them pranks. Korczak organized a lot of activities in the orphanage. Janusz Korczak is the pen name of Henryk Goldszmit. He started to use in this name when he was 20 years old, and he participated in literary competition. In 1901 he published his first book "Children //of the streets". In// 1904-1898 he worked in journalist. In his free time he wrote about education. His books were very good and many children readied them. He wrote many books about children and teenagers and he wrote many books for children and teenagers. Janusz Korczak perpetuaten in many books. Janusz korczak believes was that need to be for the children credit and he wrote an agreement of the child, in the agreement he wrote:" credit to education and medical care, in all the activities that touch in children for the good to the kids be first". Janusz korczak believed in this so much and he gave up on his life for them. He believed that the child's education should come from with in the child. The Germans occupied Poland in September 1939, and the Warsaw ghetto was established in November 1940. The orphanage was moved inside the ghetto. Korczak get many offers to be smuggled out of the ghetto, but he refused because he did not want to abandon the children. On August 5, 1942, Korczak joined nearly 200 children and orphanage staff members went to the train station to [|Treblinka] , for them death. An eye witness say: "it was not gait to wagon death. It was an organized protest, mute, against the death! All the children were organized in foursomes and Korczak went in raised eyes, while he holds two children's hands"… where they were all put to death. Korczak was 64 when he died.

"The lives of great men are like legends-difficult but beautiful," Janusz Korczak once said. I think that this sentence describes Janusz Korczak believed. Janusz Korczak was an amazing person and he gave a lot for the world. He gave the // // children of the world many rights. // // The children were all his life, he accepted to give up on his dream to live in //// Israel //// because he felt responsible for his children at orphanage and stay with them until the day he dies. // // Besides the big projects that he did in his life he was a special person because he agreed to die for another person and he didn’t think only about himself. //// ..When the Germans wanted to move Janusz Korczak and his //// orphanage children to Treblinka from the ghetto, //// Janusz Korczak's friends wanted to help him and get him out.However, Janusz Korczak refused. He took his children and together they walked to their death ////. // // Because of who he was and because of what he left behind him, we decided to give him the prize.

= Rationale - Reut =

When my teacher told us that our project will be about movers and shakers in the twentieth century, I knew that I was going to research a special person from the Holocaust because it is a very interesting topic. I think the more you work on that, the more you know, and we need to pass it on to our children. I decided to write about Janusz Korczak because he was a wonderful person and I wanted to know him better and to understand who he really was. I think that I chose him because everybody needs to know him and learn about him. Maybe from my project more people will learn about him and therefore know him better.

= Rationale - Shoham =

I wanted to do my project about janusz korczak because of some reasons. in few years we can forget the holocaust and this is exactly our duty. We must remember the holocaust and that why we must study the subjects on the holocaust. This is our responsibility! Another reason for me to write on janusz korczak it's my love to children. Janusz korczak loved children very much and looked after them in a great love. I admirer him about his love to children and I wanted to write about him.

= Reflection - Shoham = I have learned about the holocaust a lot and I also learned that there are many good people in the world. Working on the project made me learn how to use the computer, and helped me to make my writing better. It was difficult to learn about the evil in the holocaust, but it gave me another thinking angle. The process of writing this projects wasn’t difficult for me and I enjoyed it. My teacher and my friend, reut, helped me through writing this project and I would like to thank them. I understood the instructions and the assignment were clear and fair. I really enjoyed working on this project because it was interesting and I learned from this a lot.

= Reflection - Reut = From the project I learned a lot about Janusz Korczak. I learned how there are such amazing people in our world. I learned from Janusz Korczak how to give to others without receiving anything in return. I n his lifetime, Janusz Korczak was a pediatrician, principal of an orphanage and a teacher, but not just for the children in his orphanage, he was a teacher for the world. Today, because of him, children have a children agreement. In addition, from working on the project I learned new vocabulary, how to write better and English language skills. I also learned how to work in a team, to share my ideas and accept new ideas from my partner. I learned to listen to others which is not always easy, and was sometimes difficult. Also In the project I read the material in Hebrew and it was difficult to translate the material to English. had enough time to work on the project and my teacher supported me. I understood the instructions, they were very clear, and the assignments were very fair. In conclusion, I enjoyed working on this project because I learned a lot of things including how to work better as a team. Above all, I learned about Janusz Korczak. It is always fun to learn something new.
