Karski: How One Man Tried to Stop the Holocaust

"Karski is a story of incredible valor, a story of personal courage and uncommon determination to bring to Allied leaders the awful truth about the mass murder of the Jews of Europe. It is the story of a man who understood the poisonous effects of bigotry and hatred. His fight against Nazi oppression came to an end in 1945. His fight against anti-Semitism has never stopped." —Miles Lerman, Chairman, United States Holocaust Memorial Council Praise for Karski: How One Man Tried to Stop the Holocaust "Karski's is a fantastic story—and the author tells it well. This is a riveting as well as a harrowing read."—The Times (London) "His [Karski's] engrossing biography is valuable, for it tempers the widespread contention that Gentile Poland was indifferent to the plight of Jews."—Publishers Weekly "A significant account of personal heroism—not only dramatic as a story, but also a compelling moral message regarding the human condition. . . . A superb read."—Zbigniew Brzezinski "Jan Karski emerges from these pages as truly one of the 'righteous among nations.' It is the shame of history that . . . none of the leaders of the free world would heed his call for help."—Abraham Foxman, National Director, Anti-Defamation League "Karski['s] is a remarkable story . . . which the authors tell with sympathy and verve."—The Times Literary Supplement (London)
