For fans of The Warsaw Orphan and The Tattooist of Auschwitz: the
start of WWII changed everything in Poland irrevocably-except for
one man's capacity to love. September 1, 1939. Sixty-year-old
Janusz Korczak and the students and teachers at his Dom Sierot
Jewish orphanage are outside enjoying a beautiful day in Warsaw.
Hours later, their lives are altered forever when the Nazis invade.
Suddenly treated as an outcast in his own city, Janusz-a respected
leader known for his heroism and teaching-is determined to do
whatever it takes to protect the children from the horrors to come.
When over four hundred thousand Jewish people are rounded up and
forced to live in the 1.3-square-mile walled compound of the Warsaw
ghetto, Janusz and his friends take drastic measures to shield the
children from disease and starvation. With dignity and courage, the
teachers and students of Dom Sierot create their own tiny army of
love and bravely prepare to march toward the future-whatever it may
hold. Unforgettable, devastating, and inspired by a real-life hero
of the Holocaust, The Teacher of Warsaw reminds the world that one
single person can incite meaning, hope, and love. Praise for The
Teacher of Warsaw: "Through meticulous research and with wisdom and
care, Mario Escobar brings to life a heartbreaking story of love
and extraordinary courage. I want everyone I know to read this
book." -Kelly Rimmer, New York Times bestselling author of The
Warsaw Orphan "A beautifully written, deeply emotional story of
hope, love, and courage in the face of unspeakable horrors. That
such self-sacrifice, dedication and goodness existed restores faith
in humankind. Escobar's heart-rending yet uplifting tale is made
all the more poignant by its authenticity. Bravo!" -Tea Cooper,
