"I want everyone I know to read this book." --Kelly Rimmer, New York Times bestselling author of The Things We Cannot Say

For fans of The Warsaw Orphan and The Tattooist of Auschwitz. The start of WWII changed everything in Poland irrevocably--except for one man's capacity to love.

September 1, 1939: Sixty-year-old Janusz Korczak and the students and teachers at his Dom Sierot Jewish orphanage are outside enjoying a beautiful day in Warsaw. Hours later, their lives are altered forever when the Nazis invade. Suddenly treated as an outcast in his own city, Janusz--a respected leader known for his heroism and teaching--is determined to do whatever it takes to protect the children from the horrors to come.

When over four hundred thousand Jewish people are rounded up and forced to live in the 1.3-square-mile walled compound of the Warsaw ghetto, Janusz and his friends take drastic measures to shield the children from disease and starvation. With dignity and courage, the teachers and students of Dom Sierot create their own tiny army of love and bravely prepare to march toward the future--whatever it may hold.

Unforgettable, devastating, and inspired by a real-life hero of the Holocaust, The Teacher of Warsaw reminds the world that one single person can incite meaning, hope, and love.

For fans of The Goddess of Warsaw, this gripping WWII novel offers a unique perspective on the resilience of the human spirit in the face of unimaginable adversity. With its powerful storytelling and poignant characters, The Teacher of Warsaw is a perfect book club pick. Delve deeper into the history and themes of the novel with the included timeline, author notes, and discussion questions.

"A beautifully written, deeply emotional story of hope, love, and courage in the face of unspeakable horrors. That such self-sacrifice, dedication and goodness existed restores faith in humankind. Escobar's heart-rending yet uplifting tale is made all the more poignant by its authenticity. Bravo!" --Tea Cooper, award-winning and bestselling author of The Cartographer's Secret

Amazing Book and Narration!

Hard to put into words the effect this story has had on me! I would guess I've read at least a couple of hundred WWII books. Each was unique and gave me a different perspective of the war. Many have brought me to tears. However, this one shattered my heart and yet reminded me once again love is superior to anything evil man can do to man. Love conquers all. ❤
Narration was excellent!

Fantastic, Inspiring, and Harrowing Story

This novel is excellent. The characters and stories are beautiful and inspiring, and the goodness and humility of Janusz Korczak makes me more grateful for what I have and compels me to become better. I wholeheartedly recommend this book.

Heartbreaking

No matter how many novels I hear or read about the poor souls of the Holocaust, the cruelty is unimaginable.

Excellent Book, mediocre narrator

Loved the Story, great characters. The narrator had some strange intonation and pronunciation, which I found distracting.

Teacher of love during an unthinkable time

The atrocities and wickedness that others did to the Jews is horrible! Great book! Well written and well performed!

Inspiring!

This novel was a reminder of the strength we all have within and that there are some things evil cannot destroy!

Beautifully written, beautifully narrated.

Gut wrenching but important, especially in this time we’re in where people are being marginalized.

thank you for writing this book

I have read all I can about Irena and the orphans and their care givers. God have mercy. May we not forget. May we stand boldly for our children in 2022.

The perspective from the view point of the teacher

Very well written book on such a heavy story about the lives taken and those that sacrificed themselves for the children.

a Must Read for our Time!

While the book is given to you asxa Novel, for easy digestion - it is filled with hard hitting facts.

These oppressions never begin with concentration camps they end with them. in the beginning it is very subtle i.e. lije you're the last race group that may be employed, then your mother tongue is attacked, then they want 30% of your company for nothing and then they come for everything you own.

The book hit home very hard as White South Africans are facing these obstacles on a daily basis. The book was very sad, yet inspiring to know of this great man who walked the earth and made a difference. Thank you for writing the book - I hope more people read it - it serves as a warning. Very grateful to the writer.
