The school carries on the legacy of the educator and children's writer Janusz Korczak (Henryk Goldszmit). Janusz Korczak devoted his life to children and to improving the world through education. Respect for the child as a person is the central theme of his educational writings. In August 1942 he accompanied the children of his orphanage in the Warsaw ghetto to Treblinka extermination camp. This school is the continuation of Janusz Korczak Elementary School that existed for many years in Kibbutz Lohamei Haghetaot. The program "Children of the World Learn about Children" is run by the staff of Yad Layeled, the children's museum at the Ghetto Fighters' House Museum. Yad Layeled was built to commemorate the million and a half Jewish children who perished in the Holocaust. The story of the Jewish child is presented to children and adults via a unique museum and a variety of study programs. In the Yad Layeled Internet site you will find information on the activities of Yad Layeled, access to exhibitions and contact with the museum staff. The program "Confronting Evil in Our Time" (in Hebrew-"Ani Adam ")- is run by the educational staff of The Ghetto Fighters' House Museum. The Ghetto Fighters' House Museum is a museum and educational center commemorating the fate of the Jewish people in the Holocaust. The web site includes information on its activities, details of exhibitions, access to the library and the archives, access to hundreds of similar sites in the world and access to a computerized data bank with thousands of items pertaining to the Holocaust period.
