Jak kochać dzieci : dom sierot
| Collection | Biblioteka Narodowa |
| Description | "Jak kochać dziecko" is made up of four parts: "Dziecko w rodzinie" (first edition in 1918, dated 1919), "Internat", "Kolonie letnie" i "Dom Sierot" (first edition issued in 1920). The tetralogy "Jak kochać dziecko" is the summary of Korczak's various experiences in the first half of the 1920s. "Jak kochać dziecko: dom sierot" describes the ways in which the Jewish orphanage operated, as managed by Korczak between 1912-1942, owned by the Jewish Orphans Aid Association "Pomoc dla Sierot". In this part of the publication, he describes the pedagogical methods used in this institution, including: blackboards, postboxes, shelves, a found-items wardrobe, a shop, a broom hanging cupboard, a care-taking commission, meetings, newspapers, a friendship court, a parliament, calendar and souvenir postcards. It is the friendship court which is described in the greatest detail, Korczak stressing that the most important values for him are: trust placed in children, along with the unfailing conviction that children should have rights and make use of them. Korczak believes that the role of those who run pedagogical institutions should honour these: "Dom Sierot" is a basic source of information which presents visions of how such institutions ought to function. This publication is also a source of information for those who are responsible for organising children's societies. In this edition, the whole publication was titled "Jak kochać dziecko" and was split into two parts: "Dziecko w rodzinie" and "Internat" with "Koloniami letnimi" and "Domem Sierot". This volume was published before the end of WWII – its publisher Zrzeszenie Nauczycieli Polaków w Wielkiej Brytanii / The Association of Polish Teachers in Great Britain justified this initiative in pragmatic terms: the need to offer the best possible care for children deported to Russia, who then found themselves looked after in Iran, India, Palestine and Africa. |
