On November 16th, we received a beautiful video of a very special meeting that took place on April 19th, 2019, at the Animagic Museum in Lee, Massachusetts. The purpose of the meeting was to introduce YouthBridge and Janusz Korczak Association of the USA to Beverly Milensky, anchor of the local TV program Smile with B-Mile, who was interested in presenting a program about Dr. Korczak on the local TV channel.

In July 2021, we let you know that our organization, The Janusz Korczak Association of the USA, has decided to undertake an exciting new project, Janusz Korczak – Past, Present, Future – The Korczak Interview Project in collaboration with the Polish Korczak researcher, Ewa Lukowicz Oniszczuk. The first interview took place in Warsaw on August 13th, 2021 with Marta Ciesielska, the head of Korczakianum (Korczak’s Archives in Warsaw). The interview and the tour of the building were videotaped in Polish and you will see them with English subtitles.

Out of that meeting came Agzam’s commitment to translate Marcia’s book, Janusz Korczak Sculptor of Children’s Souls into Russian. With the help of Roza, the book was published and presented at the 7th International Forum on Teacher Education in Kazan in May of 2021. Marcia was able to speak via Zoom to the audience of a few hundred teachers and her book was sent to libraries of universities in Russia that have department of education.
