Review # 1 was written on 2020-01-25 00:00:00 Ken Jensen This is an incredible story, a true story, an inspiration, a frustration. Jan Karski was a member of the Polish underground during the Nazi occupation of Poland. He performed several life-threatening missions as a courier, but that was just a warm-up. Designated to go to London to deliver information to the Polish government in exile, Karski was approached by Jewish leaders from Warsaw's ghetto, from which Jews thousands of Jews per day were already being exported to their deaths. They told him what was happening, but insisted it was so horrible nobody would believe it. Karski went twice into the ghetto and once to a deportation collection center to see for himself. Then he set off to London, on a route that had been planned by the Polish underground. Somehow he made it and delivered his report in late 1942, when millions of Jews were still alive. The report was made public, after which not a single world leader did anything. Saving Jews was nobody's priority.

The best part of his class was office hours when he would tell us what he went through as part of the Polish underground during WWII.
