(HOLOCAUST). Janusz Korczak . Der Bankrott des Kleinen Jack [“The Bankruptcy of Little Jack.” (English edition (1939) entitled: “Big Business Billy)]. FIRST GERMAN EDITION. Translated from Polish by Aniela Gruszczynska. Many illustrations by ARA [Anne Reibstein-Albrecht]. pp. 222, (2) ads. Original color pictorial boards. 4to. Berlin: Williams & Co. 1935 First appeared in Poland in 1924, this children’s story tells the tale of young Jack (’Dzek’ in the original) and his experiences of social and political life in America of the time. Korczak clearly displays a fondness for the co-operative economic system. It is surprising that draconian Nazi laws of censorship allowed this to to be published in Germany given the book’s obvious fondness for the rush of American urban life. Janusz Korczak (pen name of Henryk Goldszmit, 1878-1942) was a Polish-Jewish children’s writer known for his innovative pedagogical methods as the head of a Warsaw orphanage for Jewish children in pre-war Poland. “[Korczak] became a symbol of the martyrdom of [a] deported and murdered people.” https://muzeumtreblinka.eu/en/informacje/biography/ .
