Korczak was born in April 1921 in Bieslko, to a cattle dealer.[1] Her family moved to a small village in Płock where she attended public school.[2] In eighth grade, she organized a Jewish student strike to protest Anti-Semitism in the school.[1] As a teenager, she joined a Zionist organization called HaShomer HaTzair (the young guard).[2]
As the situation worsened in the ghetto, she left it in September 1943 with the last group of fighters passing through the sewers and took refuge in the forests of Rudninkai and Naroch.[4] After the liberation of Vilnius by the Red Army in July 1944, she and her companions focused on helping Jewish refugees and emigration to Palestine. She arrived there on December 12, 1944.[3][5]
