An orphanage in Warsaw houses children ages 3-18. It was not always that way.

In 1912 an orphanage for Jewish ‘social orphans’ was built for Jewish children ages 7-14, children whose parents could not keep them for various reasons. One hundred boys and girls lived here, sharing chores, going to primary school, learning a trade. The orphanage was a charity funded by wealthy Jews.

The school flourished until that moment in November 1940 when the children and teachers were forced to move to the Jewish ghetto; after a year they were forced to move again.

On August 5, 1942 the children and teachers were deported to Treblinka by train.

Rest in peace, innocent of innocents.
