A German soldier stopped at the front of the line and stared. He knew that face.
It was Janusz Korczak — the beloved Polish-Jewish doctor and writer whose books he had grown up reading.
The soldier quietly offered him a way out: “Step aside. Disappear. Live.”
Korczak shook his head. He took the hands of the two smallest children beside him… and kept walking toward the train.
There had been many such offers. He refused them all.
Born Henryk Goldszmit, Korczak was a renowned pediatrician, author of children’s books, and radio voice beloved across Poland.
He could have lived a comfortable life. Instead, in 1912 he founded Dom Sierot — an extraordinary orphanage in Warsaw where children ran their own parliament, court, and newspaper.
His one sacred rule: A child is not someone who will matter one day. A child matters now.
He lived among them for thirty years as their father.
When the Nazis sealed the Warsaw Ghetto in 1940, Korczak moved the orphanage inside. Friends begged him to escape — he looked Polish, he was famous, he could pass. He refused. “I will not leave my children.”
Inside the starving ghetto, he begged for food, carried heavy sacks on his failing back, and tracked every child’s heartbreaking weight loss by candlelight. He was starving too.
On August 5, 1942, the soldiers came. Korczak calmly told the 192 children they were going to the countryside for fresh air.
He had them dress in their best clothes. Each carried a small bag with a favorite book or doll.
Then the old doctor led them out — 192 children walking in calm rows behind him, holding his hands, the smallest in his arms. No crying. No panic. Just quiet dignity as they marched three miles through the ghetto to the Umschlagplatz.
At the platform, the final offer came.
Once more, Korczak refused. He climbed into the cattle car with his children and staff.
They were murdered upon arrival at Treblinka.
He could not save their lives. He knew it. So he saved the only thing left: their dignity and their sense of not being alone.
In the darkest place on earth, Janusz Korczak gave those children the one thing the Nazis could not take — a hand to hold until the very end.
Today at Treblinka, among 17,000 stones, one bears the name: Janusz Korczak and the Children.
He had none of his own. He died with 192 of them.
May their memory be a blessing.

Zelensky tells the Belarusian dictator that he has one week to remove the missile guidance systems that he allows Russia to use for targeting Ukrainian cities or "we will remove them ourselves".

A rock band can’t stop a missile. But it can keep Ukraine in the world’s ears.
U2 released “Yours Eternally” with Ukraine’s Antytila and Ed Sheeran. The release comes with a short film by Ukrainian filmmaker Illia Mykhailus, using real footage of Ukraine’s defenders.
Attention is a form of support — and Ukraine still needs both.

No, the meeting did not go badly for Ukraine. It exposed in the most undeniable, unequivocal way possible the pro-Putin commitments of the president and vice president. That was information Americans and allies needed to have clear before them.

Whenever you welcome guests, treat them with kindness, grace and respect. Simple as that.

Our country needs to hear this right now…
This is Jonathan Miller taking on Enoch Powell
Calling out the baselessness of racial fear and hatred
…and we need our leaders to follow suit.

No. Russia does not “remember World War II” on 9 May.
It doesn’t remember signing the Nazi-Soviet Pact that started the war.
It doesn’t remember its invasions and illegal annexations of sovereign European countries in agreement with the Nazis.
It doesn’t remember that the countries it invaded were neutral and had a right to exist in international law (and still do, by the way).
It doesn’t remember that Western democracies fought the Nazis from the start of the war - while Russia was in effective alliance with the Nazis.
It doesn’t remember its praise for the Nazis in the first two years of the war & how it aligned its propaganda to claim they had the same enemies.
It doesn’t remember its extensive mutual assistance with the Nazis in the first two years of the war.
In fact, it doesn’t remember literally any of the first two years of the war. (Check the dates on their commemorations today.) It doesn’t remember the mass atrocities it committed against the people of occupied countries.
It doesn’t remember the many “Soviet” lives lost fighting the Nazis who were not Russian. It claims people from occupied countries and other republics as its own sacrifice.
It doesn’t remember lend-lease and other considerable allied contributions to support the Soviet Union when it was forced to switch sides to the allies.
It doesn’t remember that it continued its repressive occupations after the war here in the Baltics, as originally agreed with the Nazis.
It doesn’t remember the post-WW2 settlement that led to the development of international law, which crucially meant that borders should never again be changed by force.
It doesn’t remember the main lessons of WW2 that “never again” should we tolerate totalitarianism and aggression as a tool of statecraft. These are all key details for anyone actually remembering WW2, which took place from 1939 to 1945.
Countries like ours consigned to aggression in the Nazi-Soviet Pact will never forget WW2 in its entirety and the lessons for the world today. Its why we detest Nazi and Soviet totalitarianism.
It’s why we annulled the Nazi-Soviet Pact to restore our independence. It’s why we rebuilt free, open democracies where history can be freely discussed.
It’s why we support international law, the rights of all nations to exist, and all people to have their freedoms.
It’s why we support Ukraine.

1991 Ukraine independence vote under neutral observers of the UN. This is what democracy looks like. A 92% result across the entire country. Just remember there is dictator supporters in democracy trying to convince people that they want to be Russia in the Donbass.

Russia's invading forces are on the run in Ukraine. Now the allies must commit to ending this war by giving Ukraine everything it needs to liberate the rest of its land and its people. Do not forget the people! This is the only path to peace.
