THE ORPHANAGE by Melissa Leilani Larson is based on a True Story. In the summer of 1942 and within the locked gates of the Warsaw ghetto, some 200 orphans live in the care of the “Old Doctor,” Janusz Korczak. Under Korczak’s guidance, the Orphanage is its own little city where every child is assigned a job and a way to contribute. As rumors about the fate of Warsaw’s Jews begin to swirl, Korczak determines to prepare his charges for whatever danger the future may hold—by staging a play.
