Unlike Korczak, Wilczy\u0144ska only produced a few writings, which are only available in Polish. There is also very little secondary literature on Wilczy\u0144ska. This article addresses this research desideratum and aims to broaden the picture of Stefania Wilczy\u0144ska and make her known. Not only did Korczak die together with the children, but Stefania Wilczy\u0144ska accompanied them as well. She had previously returned from what was then Palestine to stand by Korczak and the children due to the critical political situation. Korczak had numerous other commitments during his lifetime, but Stefania Wilczy\u0144ska was the one constant in the orphanage, working and maintaining the organisational structure of the orphanage.<br \/>\n<em>Keywords:<\/em> Stefania Wilczy\u0144ska; Janusz Korczak; Orphanage; Dom Sierot<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/bel.azbuki.bg\/en\/member-login\/\">Log in to read the full text<\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Agata Skalska University of Applied Sciences, D\u00fcsseldorf (Germany) https:\/\/doi.org\/10.53656\/ped2023-2.03 Abstract.
