Janusz Korczak: The Man Who Knew How to Love Children by Itzchak Belfer has an eye-catching cover image. In fact, it is a painting. An old man embracing a young boy with his right hand. And a book with his left hand. The bald old-man with brown mustaches and purple necktie looking straight into your eyes. The young boy is looking at the old man. A lively cover page indicating so many things in a simple painting. The story has a key focus on only one thing - Humanity. Probably that is why the old man is looking straight into the eyes of the person looking at the cover asking, or rather requesting, to keep humanity alive in their mind, heart, and soul. The world is a right balance of good and bad. If there is a lot of bad around, there is a lot of good around too.
It all depends on you what you want to see and what you want to deliver to this world. That is what probably Janusz Korczak: The Man Who Knew How to Love Children by Itzchak Belfer intends to convey to its readers. There are, in fact, good people on this earth who are selfless. Those who care for others selflessly. The author has a first-hand experience of growing up in Janusz Korczak’s care. That is the reason he is able to witness a huge amount of goodness in him. The author has taken appropriate care to present the intensity and gravity of that goodness in the same manner as he received it. If there is sadness, on one hand, there is hope on the other hand. The book presents both the sides of humanity. And the life keeps oscillating between these two extremes.
While there are a number of books on the Holocaust and its damage to humankind, Janusz Korczak: The Man Who Knew How to Love Children by Itzchak Belfer is a little different from others. It is a memoir that makes you conversant with the dark side of humanity in the shape of the Holocaust. But it also reflects hope, love, and goodness on the brighter side.
