He loved children very much and wrote books for them.<\/p>\n<p>Everybody knows about the sacrificial action made by the teacher who died together with children and for the sake of them. This action done by the Polish pedagogue is considered to be the highest demonstration of love and support for children during the difficult moments of their short lives.<\/p>\n<p>He worked very hard at children\u2019s camps, Orphanage, and Our House boarding school in Warsaw. Children from the streets, deprived and destitute, found shelter in these establishments. Being a children\u2019s doctor, Janusz Korczak became a talented pedagogue, tactful teacher, and children\u2019s friend.<\/p>\n<p>He considered a child to be a person of full value. He stated that the main task of education is free and harmonious development of child\u2019s abilities and good features encouraging child for self-knowledge, self-esteem, and self-improvement.<\/p>\n<p>These ideas were described in Janusz Korczak\u2019s belles-lettres books, publicistic papers, pedagogical books and various articles published in periodicals. He wrote more than 20 pedagogical books, and the most well-known is <em>Jak kocha\u0107 dziecko <\/em>(How to love a child). The pedagogue stated that \u201cA child is a person first of all, and an attentive teacher should study him, respect and trust him\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The Polish pedagogue\u2019s thoughts influenced the development of educational ideas all over the world. The Korczak international movement started many years ago, and now it covers all continents of the world. The societies of the Polish humanist\u2019s disciples function in almost every country.<\/p>\n<p>Janusz Korczak\u2019s ideas influenced the national pedagogues. N. K. Krupska paid great attention to them and recommended other pedagogues to read Janusz Korczak\u2019s books. A. S. Makarenko also was familiar with his pedagogical oeuvre. V. O. Sukhomlynskyi was greatly impressed by the Polish pedagogue\u2019s figure and his works; he considered Korczak to be \u201ca national hero of the Polish people\u201d and \u201ca man of extraordinary moral beauty\u201d, and his works to be \u201ca precept for the whole life\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Janusz Korczak<\/p>\n<p>(Henryk Goldszmit)<\/p>\n<p>1878 \u2013 1942<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Biography<\/li>\n<li>Janusz Korczak and Ukraine<\/li>\n<li>Bibliography of publications<\/li>\n<li>Sculptures and graphics<\/li>\n<li>Film and photo documents<\/li>\n<li>Janusz Korczak societies<\/li>\n<li>Full-text documents<\/li>\n<li>Perpetuation of his memory<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>According to the resolution adopted on 16 September 2011, the\u00a0Sejm\u00a0of the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Republic_of_Poland\">Republic of Poland<\/a> declared 2012 the Year of Janusz Korczak marking the 100th anniversary of the Orphanage established by him in Warsaw and the 70th anniversary of his and his pupils\u2019 tragic death in the Treblinka Nazi extermination camp.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":19,"featured_media":0,"parent":624,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"widepage.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-22387","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dnpb.gov.ua\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/22387","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dnpb.gov.ua\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dnpb.gov.ua\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dnpb.gov.ua\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/19"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dnpb.gov.ua\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=22387"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/dnpb.gov.ua\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/22387\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":22388,"href":"https:\/\/dnpb.gov.ua\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/22387\/revisions\/22388"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dnpb.gov.ua\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/624"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dnpb.gov.ua\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=22387"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
