11. Janusz Korczak When the Warsaw Ghetto opened in 1940, Janusz Korczak moved his pre-established orphanage for Jewish children Dom Siero to the Ghetto. Korczak refused many offers from friends offering to smuggle him out of the Ghetto. In 1942, Korczak, along with his 200 children, was deported and murdered at Treblinka. 19 "I am not here to be loved and admired, But to act and love. It is not the duty of people to help me, But it is my duty to look after the world, And the people in it.” 21 -Janusz Korczak 20

12. Irena Sendlerowa (Sendler) Irena Sendler was a polish social worker living in Warsaw. Together with a group of others living in Warsaw, Sendler smuggled 2,500 children out of the Ghetto. Usually disguising herself as a Nurse, she would enter the Ghetto and convince parents to let her take their children. Irena would sedate babies and carry them out concealed in boxes. For older children, Irena would help them escape through various openings in the Ghetto. She would forge documentation for the children and place them in orphanages or with Polish families. She intended to reunite the children with their parents whenever possible. 22 In 1965, Irena Sendlerowa was honored by Yad Vashem as a Righteous Amoung the Nations. Being honored means the individual was of a “small minority who mustered extraordinary courage to uphold human values” during the Holocaust. 24 23
