Cast: Wojciech Pszoniak, Ewa Dalkowska, Teresa Budzisz-Krzyzanowska. 118 min. Pol-Ger-Fr-UK 1990.

Shot in black and white (one of many elements that directly inspired the Wajda-influenced Schindler’s List), this tells the story of the famous Polish teacher Janusz Korczak, who set up an orphanage in the Warsaw ghetto in the early years of World War II. But as the film progresses, his attempt at ignoring the realities of Nazi occupation set him an appalling moral dilemma.
