Janusz Korczak | Kadish (A. Galich) | A Short Film 

“Kadish” honors the memory of Janusz Korchak, a well-known Polish Jewish doctor, educator, and author. In 1911, he founded The Orphan’s Home (Dom Sierot) in Warsaw. He adamantly stayed with his orphans through the Ghetto and Treblinka extermination camp in 1942.
A. Galich's poem "Kadish" was written in 1970. This is a fusion of poems and songs. The work includes ballads, blues, and children's songs.
Galich speaks of the historical past with references to the present (In 1970, Poland was a Warsaw Pact country). Like any classical work, "Kadish" also resonates with the present.
"Кадиш"- цикл стихов, посвящённый Янушу Корчаку: польскому еврею, доктору, педагогу, писателю. В 1911 году он основал "Дом сирот" для еврейских детей. Корчак добровольно остался со своими воспитанниками в гетто и в 1942 г. погиб вместе с детьми в концлагере Треблинка.
Поэма А. Галича "Кадиш" была написана в 1970 году. Это цикл стихов и песен. В произведение включены баллады, блюз, детские песенки.
Галич говорит об историческом прошлом с обращениями к современности (В 1970 году Польша была страной Варшавского договора). Как любое классическое произведение, "Кадиш" всегда созвучен времени.
