Remembering the lessons of Jan Karski, who risked his life to share
the truth with the world Richly illustrated with stills from the
black-and-white film adaptation of the acclaimed stage play,
Remember This: The Lesson of Jan Karski tells the story of World
War II hero, Holocaust witness, and Georgetown University professor
Jan Karski. A messenger of truth, Karski risked his life to carry
his harrowing reports of the Holocaust from war-torn Poland to the
Allied nations and, ultimately, the Oval Office, only to be ignored
and disbelieved. Despite the West's unwillingness to act, Karski
continued to tell others about the atrocities he saw, and, after a
period of silence, would do so for the remainder of his life. This
play carries forward his legacy of bearing witness so that future
generations might be inspired to follow his example and "shake the
conscience of the world." Accompanying the text of the stage play
in this volume are essays and conversations from leading diplomats,
thinkers, artists, and writers who reckon with Karski's legacy,
including Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, Ambassador Stuart
Eizenstat, award-winning author Aminatta Forna, best-selling author
Azar Nafisi, President Emeritus of Georgetown Leo J. O'Donovan, SJ,
Ambassador Samantha Power, Ambassador Cynthia P. Schneider,
historian Timothy Snyder, Academy Award (TM) nominated actor David
Strathairn, and best-selling author Deborah Tannen.
