Canadian Playwright Hannah
Moscovitch relays a heartfelt
and inspirational tale of Dr.
Janusz Korczak's selfless journey
to bring safety to Polish-Jewish
orphans within the Warsaw
Ghetto. His struggle to advocate
children's rights and shelter
his orphans from the horrors of
the war ended with his death in
1942. A powerful and true story
of beauty, heroism and legacy in
a world devoid of freedom and
even the necessities of life.
