"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.

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.

Great story and narrator

If you are looking for historical fiction based on facts this is the one for you. There is no romance to distract from the story ( thank God) like so many others I’ve listened to.
The narrator’s warm tone made it all the better

The horrible truth!

The entire book was well written and read. Although it was heartbreaking it was captivating. This should be required reading in our high schools. We are not Jewish.

Model character

I loved the historical review of a life well-lived with His teachings. An example to know.

The Children

What a sad story, it's unbelievable what these children and adults went through! Pure evil, glad his diary was saved and this true story was able to be shared.

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!
