That brave act became a lasting symbol of respect for the dignity of children. Korczak was the pen name of Polish doctor, Henry Goldszmit, an author of books for and about children including \u003ci\u003eKing Matt the First\u003c\/i\u003e, and, most famously, the director of a Warsaw orphanage, which he called a \"republic of children,\" where their rights, their voices, fairness and respect were paramount. Though some were very young, the children had a parliament, a newspaper, and a court with which to learn participation in citizenry and communal responsibility and care. When the Nazis invaded Poland, Korczak was given the opportunity by the authorities to escape before his charges were sent to the camps. After surviving the deprivations of the Warsaw ghetto together, he accompanied the children to Treblinka where it is assumed they all perished.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eJanusz Korczak: \u003ci\u003eNo to Denying the Rights of Children\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e shows the dedication of a humanist whose philosophy for empowering children inspired the U.N.
