An excerpt from "The Children's Republic," a play by Hannah Moscovitch, performed by cast members from the sold-out 2009 production, presented by the Great Canadian Theater Company and the Ottawa School of Speech and Drama.
About "The Children's Republic":
Dr. Janusz Korczak is the King of Children. Doctor, author and champion of childrens rights, Janusz runs a remarkable orphanage in Poland. But when the Nazis invade, the Jewish orphans are forced into the Warsaw Ghetto. Janusz follows to protect their rights and dignity. In a world devoid of freedom and even the necessities of life, what else do you have but your honour and ideals? A powerful and true tale of beauty, heroism and legacy.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
