	Korczak Ziolkowski - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Korczak Ziółkowski (born September 6, 1908, in Boston - died October 20, 1982, in Crazy Horse, South Dakota) was an American sculptor of Crazy Horse Memorial.
		Ziolkowski, a Polish American, was born exactly 34 years after the death of Crazy Horse on September 6, 1908, to Polish parents in Boston.
		Korczak thought the Wyoming Tetons would be the best choice, where the rock would be better for carving, but the Lakota wanted the memorial in the sacred Black Hills on a 600-foot high mountain.

		Since the single-minded artist Korczak Ziolkowski died in 1982, his wife and seven of his 10 children have taken over, carrying his dream into the next generation.
		The now-grown Ziolkowski children help run what is essentially the family business, doing everything from answering telephones in the administrative offices to hanging from derricks chiseling on the mountain's face.
		The Ziolkowski offspring can be recognized from their stoic expressions, instilled through years of physical hardship as the family sacrificed all for the sculpture.

	Crazy Horse: Continuing a Dream
		Before he died, Crazy Horse sculptor Korczak Ziolkowski told his family tocontinue his mountain carving and to "go slowly, so you do it right." Now over a decade since his death in 1982, it's easy to see that wife Ruth and their children have definitely heeded his advice.
		The Sioux believed that Korczak was destined to memorialize their chief because the sculptor was born on September 6, the same day Crazy Horse was stabbed in the back while under a flag of truce.
		Just as Korczak Ziolkowski directed over a decade ago, his children continue work slowly and carefully, knowing that this will be, like it was for their father, their life's work.

		It is the creation of one man: Korczak Ziolkowski (pronounced Core-CHOCK Jewel-CUFF-sky), a Bostonian of Polish descent who worked on the Rushmore presidents for a couple of months in 1939, and whose previous works had included plump carvings of Noah Webster, the classical pianist Ignacy Paderewski, and Wild Bill Hickok.
		The cult of Korczak reaches a climax in the studio home, a museum-like collection of family possessions, decorative odds and ends that matched neither the mountain nor each other.
