  • Janusz Korczak: The Educator who Refused to Abandon his Children in the Holocaust

    Janusz Korczak: The Educator who Refused to Abandon his Children in the Holocaust
    Jan 22 2026
    Yael Steiner and Jonathan Schwab are back for a new season of Jewish History Nerds, starting with the remarkable story of Janusz Korczak—the Jewish-Polish pediatrician and educator who insisted children are full human beings, not “human becomings.” Korczak pioneered radical ideas about children’s rights, dignity, and autonomy, building orphanages where children governed themselves and were treated as moral equals. The episode explores his complex Polish-Jewish identity and lasting influence on child psychology—before confronting the ultimate test of his philosophy during the Holocaust, when Korczak refused multiple chances to escape and instead accompanied 200 Jewish orphans from the Warsaw Ghetto to Treblinka.

That festive time of year where we light candles, indulge in fried foods, and celebrate… a brutal civil war? Join Yael and Schwab as they complicate the story we all thought we knew. What did the Maccabees really fight for? How should we feel about their legacy? And who is Helen?
