Polish Religious Affairs Minister Jerzy Kuberski said Sunday the collection of documents relating to the Polish Jewish educator Janus Korczak kept at the Ghetto Fighters Museum in Kibbutz Lohamei Hagetaot appeared to be the most comprehensive collection of its kind in the world. Kuberski visited the kibbutz and its museum during a visit to Israel to attend a meeting of the International Janus Korczak Society. Korczak was a teacher who escorted his young charges to their deaths at the Treblinka death camp in 1942.
