- W115321274 abstract "De mortuis aut nihil aut bene, speak only good of the dead. We have come to pay honor and give eulogy to Janusz Korczak. We want, therefore, to concentrate on his achievements and to give him praise. We would not want to evaluate him critically as some professionals, concerned with the narrower confines of pedagogy might, as Professor Gross alluded, be tempted to do. We honor today a remarkable man whose life in broad brushstrokes can only serve to inspire us. Recently The New York Times devoted a whole page to Isaac Bashevis Singer, the Nobel Prize winner in Literature; the comparison between Korczak and Singer is irresistible. We must look through this prism at Korczak as a person in order better to appraise Korczak as a teacher. Singer is a Polish Jew. Korczak was a Jewish Pole. It would seem that Singer for a long time stood alone, often singlehandedly attempting to elevate to new heights what he considered his own genuine culture.

After all Singer is an exponent of Yiddish not Hebrew culture; and Yiddish culture, if anything, is a prime example of historical assimilation to Germanic themes. But Singer was born into that culture and lived resolutely within his heritage. Korczak was born into a hybrid culture and moved over away from his origins to his new interests in Poland and Polishness. We might say that that movement was the fortune rather than the misfortune of Korczak's life. He was able to reconcile and to integrate into his pedagogical activities and his pedagogical views of the child not one but two powerful traditions. In seeking out the Polish traditions he was enacting and implementing into education the traditions of a people who primarily made a mark on history as people of the sword and the plough. In bringing into education the tradition of his rabbinical Jewish background he had sought to implement and graft onto that tradition of the sword and" @default.
