A young Polish diplomat turned cavalry officer, Jan Karski joined
the Polish Underground movement in 1939. He became a courier for
the Underground, crossing enemy lines to serve as a liaison between
occupied Poland and the free world. In 1942, Jewish leaders asked
him to carry a desperate message to Allied leaders: the news of
Hitler's effort to exterminate the Jews of Europe. To be able to
deliver an authentic report, Karski twice toured the Warsaw Ghetto
in disguise and later volunteered to be smuggled into a camp that
was part of the Nazi murder machine. Carrying searing tales of
inhumanity, Karski set out to alert the world to the emerging
Holocaust, meeting with top Allied officials and later President
Roosevelt, to deliver his descriptions of genocide. Part spy
thriller and part compelling story of moral courage against all
odds, Karski is the first definitive account of perhaps the most
significant warning of the impending Holocaust to reach the free
world.
