Reseña del libro "Karski: How One Man Tried to Stop the Holocaust, Newly Updated (en Inglés)"
A young Polish diplomat turned cavalry officer, JanKarski joined the Polish Underground movement in 1939. He became a courier forthe Underground, crossing enemy lines to serve as a liaison between occupiedPoland and the free world.In 1942, Jewish leaders asked him to carry a desperatemessage to Allied leaders: the news of Hitler's effort to exterminate the Jewsof Europe. To be able to deliver an authentic report, Karski twice toured theWarsaw Ghetto in disguise and later volunteered to be smuggled into a camp thatwas part of the Nazi murder machine.Carrying searing tales of inhumanity, Karski set outto alert the world to the emerging Holocaust, meeting with top Allied officialsand later President Roosevelt, to deliver his descriptions of genocide. Partspy thriller and part compelling story of moral courage against all odds, Karski is the first definitive account of perhaps the most significant warningof the impending Holocaust to reach the free world.This new edition alsofeatures a conversation with Academy Award Nominee David Strathairn, who playedJan Karski in the play Remember This.
