Representing Resistance: "Rescued From The Holocaust" & "Dr. Yanush Korczak"

In this week’s episode, Sam and Alex look at two short plays for middle schoolers: Rescued From The Holocaust by Sean Price and Dr. Yanush Korczak by Alina Kentof.

As well as a discussion about the highlights, challenges and contemporary relevance of working with the plays, the pair explore the historical contexts behind each one. American diplomat Varian Fry led successful efforts in southern France to rescue around 2,000 people, both Jews and non-Jews; while Janusz Korczak was a Polish Jewish paediatrician, writer, educator and children’s rights advocate who ran a Jewish orphanage in the Warsaw Ghetto.
