The moving and inspirational story of Janusz Korczak who
devoted his life to establishing the rights of the child, regardless
of nationality or religion. Korczak hosted a children’s
radio programme, founded the first children’s newspaper and
testified on behalf of children in juvenile courts. He worked
with the children of Warsaw and died, along with many of
these orphaned children, at the hands of the Nazis in 1942. We’re
hosting the exhibition to mark 25th Anniversary of Ireland’s
ratification of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.
