Noviembre de 1940. Un desfile de circo recorre las calles de Varsovia, ondeando una bandera y cantando. Son 160 niños judíos, obligados por los nazis a abandonar su querido orfanato. Es una ocasión triste, pero guiados por el doctor Korczak, su inspirador director, los niños se muestran desafiantemente alegres. Su nuevo hogar está en el gueto, una prisión para judíos. Dos años después, suben al tren que los llevará a los campos de exterminio. Al serle ofrecida la libertad, el doctor Korczak se niega a abandonar a los niños y los acompaña con orgullo en su último viaje. Este conmovedor libro ilustrado se basa en la historia real del célebre educador, escritor y médico polaco Janusz Korczak. Sus obras inspiraron la Declaración de los Derechos del Niño, adoptada por la ONU en 1959. Con ilustraciones inspiradoras y un texto lírico, este libro permite a los jóvenes lectores conocer a este hombre extraordinario cuya humanidad y valentía aún perduran como un rayo de luz en uno de los períodos más oscuros de la historia.

Mister Doctor: Janusz Korczak and the Orphans of the Warsaw Ghetto

November 1940. A circus parade walks through the streets of Warsaw, waving a flag and singing. They are 160 Jewish children, forced by the Nazis to leave their beloved orphanage. It's a sad occasion, but led by Doctor Korczak, their inspirational director, the children are defiantly joyful. Their new home is in the ghetto, a prison for Jews. Two years later they board the train that will carry them away to the death camps. Offered his freedom, Doctor Korczak refuses to abandon the children and proudly joins them on their last journey. This profoundly moving illustrated book is based on the true story of the celebrated Polish educator, writer, and doctor Janusz Korczak. His works inspired the Declaration of the Rights of the Child, which was adopted by the UN in 1959. With mood-setting artwork and lyrical text, this book allows young readers to meet the remarkable man whose humanity and bravery still stand as a glimmer of light in one of history's darkest periods.
