Heroic story: Janusz Korczak's pioneering work became the basis for the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child
An account of heroism in the face of Nazi terror is always affecting. Janusz Korczak, Polish paediatrician and founder of a Jewish orphanage, was offered a way out of the Warsaw Ghetto but chose instead to die with his charges at Treblinka.
David Greig’s 2001 work, revived here by director Amy Leach in “poor theatre” style, is decent enough but it’s hard not to long for greater depth and sense of place than that provided by just three actors in a 75-minute play aimed at younger theatregoers.
What’s unmistakable, however, is Korczak’s pioneering work, which later became the basis for the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. Korczak, appealingly played by Philip Rham, is determined that, even if Warsaw is collapsing about him, justice and democracy will reign supreme in his orphanage.
