The mural created by Ache77 depicts the memory of Janusz Korczak (Henryk Goldszmit), a Polish free thinker, doctor, pedagogue, poet, educator and a pioneer in the battle for the rights of the children, as well as one of the countless victims of the Shoah. He affirmed that the fundamental rights of each child were three: the right to die, the right to live the present life, and the right to be exactly who he is. The works of Korczak are the basis of the International Charter of Fundamental Rights of the Child. ACHE77 encloses the messages of his works through the eyes he depicts. Here, has portrayed the fearful eyes of two people: his fear conscious, her fear isn’t. He has already found out all the cruelty that humanity is capable of inflicting, but he is not capable of revealing it to her. Two bodies, gray as fear, two eyes, blue as the clearest sky. We must return to believe that the sky could only be blue.
