This is the picture taken on August 6, 1942 of Dr. Godszmit escorting 200 children on the train to Treblinka, knowing his presence would calm them.
"You do not leave a sick child in the night, and you do not leave children at this time."
An observer later described the scene: "A miracle occurred, two hundred pure souls, condemned to death, did not weep. Not one of them ran away. None tried to hide. Like stricken swallows they clung to their teacher and mentor, to their father and brother, Janusz Korscak."
