The focus of this essay is the Jewish heritage of the works of the Polish writer and educator Henryk Goldszmit (1878-1942), known as Janusz Korczak. Korczak’s approach is an original combination of rabbinical thinking and its sensibility for education (as it emerges from the Talmud and from the classical sources of Judaism) with his original and modern vision of the child as an autonomous person, with rights and duties. The essay's main concern is to bring out Jewish influence despite the difficulty related to the loss of sources during the Holocaust and emphasizing Korczak’s dissimulation of his double affiliation with Polish and Hebrew culture.

Abstract

The focus of this essay is the Jewish heritage of the works of the Polish writer and educator Henryk Goldszmit (1878-1942), known as Janusz Korczak. Korczak’s approach is an original combination of rabbinical thinking and its sensibility for education (as it emerges from the Talmud and from the classical sources of Judaism) with his original and modern vision of the child as an autonomous person, with rights and duties. The essay's main concern is to bring out Jewish influence despite the difficulty related to the loss of sources during the Holocaust and emphasizing Korczak’s dissimulation of his double affiliation with Polish and Hebrew culture.
