Late August 1944, the ruins of the Old Town: Tadeusz Rajszczak, 15, of the "Miotła" ["Broom"] battalion, is one of the few survivors from his 300-man unit. Before the last shot is fired, he will lose more friends.
On the 15th day of the Great Liquidation Action at the Warsaw Ghetto, Janusz Korczak, the "Old Doctor," along with his co-workers and about 200 pupils of the Orphanage at 16 Sienna Street, began a four-hour march to Umschlagplatz. From there they were taken to the German extermination camp at Treblinka, where they died in the gas chambers on 5 or 6 August 1942. It is estimated that during the "Great Operation" a total of some 4,000 children from nearly thirty orphanages and boarding schools were taken to Treblinka.

Enveloped by the opening of "The Image of Treblinka in the Eyes of Samuel Willenberg" exhibition in January 2020 and its Polish display in Wrocław this week has been a 30-month enterprise to which Ada Krystyna Willenberg is central.
