"Janusz Korczak.

He was a military doctor during WW1, a completely committed amazing pedagogue and the headmaster of a Jewish children’s home during WW2 in the Warsaw Ghetto.

He was given several chances to flee to Palestine. Instead electing to stay with the children.

Eventually he accompanied them all the way into the gas chamber, to make sure they didn’t have to die alone and scared.

It’s one level of bad-@$$ery to [take out] for your cause.

It’s a whole different level of bad-@$$ery to walk towards certain death for several years, endure hardship and starvation. Not for some grand cause. Not even to trade your life for someone elses.

But only because you feel so much love towards your fellow man, to think it’s your duty to make sure they won’t have to die alone."
