Anna Roth, Education Officer for the Jewish Museum presented a short talk about Janusz and then was interviewed by the children. After a Fairtrade break the children and teachers took part in a children's court in the Tower Hamlets Council Chamber. This was based on the democratic orphangage that Janusz ran in the Warsaw Ghetto. He is famous for his work with children's rights, his stories, his radio journalism, setting-up the world's first children's newspaper, and running democratic orphanages... This webpage was created as part of the Fair Play Wall Town Hall School Council Session 1, on Holocaust Memorial Day and celebrating the thirtieth anniversary of the Year of the Child (dedicated to Janus Korczak), and the twentieth anniversary of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (inspired by the work and life of Korczak). |
