Abstract

This review article discusses the book Mniej strachu. Ostatnie chwile z Januszem Korczakiem [Less Fear: The Last Moments with Janusz Korczak] by Agnieszka Witkowska-Krych (2019) in which the author takes apart the phenomenon of the Orphans’ Home, looking for a specific atmosphere that accompanied the pupils continuously until their last days. A broad approach to the problem is a new con­tribution to the discussion on the institution that Janusz Korczak and Stefania Wilczyńska run in the Warsaw Ghetto. The photos attached to the individual chap­ters illustrate the text in an interesting way. An additional advantage is the map of the march of the wards of the Orphans’ Home with its route marked, which is a great summary of the chapter Ostatnia droga [The Last Path], but not only, be­cause the graphic material prepared in this way is valuable in itself.
