It's Poland in the 1930s and Henryk Goldszmit is a Polish icon due to his writings, teachings, and radio programs for children, under the name of Janusz Korczak. With anti-Semitism on the rise, Korczak's radio show is stopped – but he remains defiantly optimistic. After the Nazis invade Poland, the Jewish Korczak and his orphans are moved into the newly formed Ghetto, where he scrounges for food and tries to protect the children from the violence and hunger around them. He refuses offers of favorable treatment or escape in order to remain with the children. When the orphanage is deported to Treblinka, he refuses final offers to escape and accompanies them to their deaths in the gas chambers. (Zlín Film Festival)
