Interview with Philip Veerman in: Benjamin summer 2020
“I was captivated by the image of Janusz Korczak and his children”
Children’s rights: also a current topic recently, due to the extra pressure that the coronavirus has placed on children in vulnerable situations. Philip was inspired by renowned Polish Jewish educator Janusz Korzcak, who chose to go with the children of his orphanage when they were deported to Treblinka instead of abandoning them.
