A 1972 Peace Prize has been
split, in order not to offend
Polish Jewish expatriates
and those who truly wish to
honor the name of Janusz
Korczak—Dr. Henryk Gold-
simit.
The victim of the Nazis,
Dr. Korczak, who refused to
abandon the children in the
Warsaw orphan home he was
directing, was chosen for the
German Book Publishers As-
sociation Peace Prize. The
Central Council of Jews in
Germany protested against
the awarding of this prize to
Poland because of the Polish
anti-Semitism and because
there are few Jews left in
Germany.

IT!!

Poll sh expatriates in
Sweden also protested and
urged that the mony be
given to an international
committee that would rend-
er service in the spirt of

ly as doctor, educator and
writer. His work describing
and arguing for his educa-
tional efforts are an answer
to an unjust, unhappy world
without peace, yet capable
to more justice, happiness
and peace. From the adults
he expected to a c cep t
change, from the children he
expected it. To them he ad-
dressed his most lovable and
at the same time most daring
books. He gave new strength
and a remaining new chance
to the ancient desire for a
new order among the genera-
tions and peace among men

' of every kind and origin. He
stood up for his ideas not

only with words and writings,

but also with his life. In the
face of death, too, he re-
mained faithful to the child-
ren entrusted to him."
