Play :: Based on a true story, Dr Korczak's Example recounts the remarkable last days of Janusz Korczak, a children's author and paediatrician who founded a Jewish orphanage in the shadow of the Warsaw Ghetto. Dr Korczak created a radical environment for the young people in his care; a democratic utopia where children had rights and were treated as equals. As the summer of 1942 advances, the days of the Ghetto and the orphanage are numbered, pushing Korczak's pacifist ideals to the limit. But the doctor's principles are challenged not only the advancing Nazi regime but by the arrival of Adzio, a young Jewish boy who believes in fighting back. Korczak's work became the basis of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. Age 11+
