“Not all people are scoundrels!” – The man who entered the gas chamber with the children spoke to the Nazis.
Janysz Kopchak is a Polish teacher, writer and doctor.
He refused to save his life three times.
The first time it happened, when Yanysh made the decision not to emigrate before the occupation of Poland, so as not to leave the “House of Sirot” in order to make the flights.
For the second time, when he refused to flee the Warsaw ghetto.
And in the third, when all the inhabitants of the Orphanage had already gotten into the train car that was going to the countryside, a Nazi, an SS officer, approached Kopchak and asked:
– Did you write “Kopol Matiush”? I read this book when I was a kid. Good book. You can be free.
– And children?
– The children will go. But you can leave the carriage.
– Incorrect. I could not. Not all people are scoundrels.
And after a few days, in the Treblinka concentration camp, Korchak, together with his children, entered the gas chamber. On the way to his death, Korczak held two of the younger children in his arms and told the unsuspecting children the story.
10 commandments recommended by Janusz for the education of children:
1. Don’t expect your child to be like you or the way you want them to. Help him not to become you, but a partner.
2. Don’t ask the child to pay for everything you have done for him. You gave him life, how can he honor you? He will give life to another, he will give life to a third, and this is an irreversible law of grace.
3. Do not vent your complaints about the child, so that in old age there is no sourdough. Because whatever you go will go up.
4. Don’t underestimate their problems. Life is given to each according to his strength, and rest assured that for him it is no less difficult than for you, and perhaps even more, since he has no experience.
5. Don’t humiliate yourself.
6. Do not forget that the most important meetings of a person are meetings with children. Pay more attention to them: we will never know who we know in a child.
7. Don’t torture yourself if you can’t do something for your child, just remember: not enough has been done for the child, if everything possible has not been done.
8. A child is not a tyrant who dominates his entire life, not just the fruit of flesh and blood. This is that precious bowl that Life has given you to keep and develop the creative fire in it. This is the liberated love of a mother and a father, who will not grow up as “our”, “our” child, but as a soul given for their custody.
9. Being able to love someone else’s child. Never do to another person what you would not want, what yours would do.
10. Love your child for anyone: untalented, unhappy, grown up. Communicate with him: rejoice, because the child is a party, he is still with you.
