Jan Karski(
Book
)
17 editions published between 1985 and 2014 in English and held by 714 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
<Span style=""line-height:13pt""> This definitive study provides a comprehensive diplomatic history of Poland during the most seminal period in its existence, when its destiny lay in the hands of France, Great Britain, and the United States. Although sovereign in principle, Poland was little more than an object of the Great Powers' politics and rapidly changing relationships from the end of WWI to the end of WWII. Enriched by unique anecdotes and archival material, the book ends with Poland's tragic abandonment by the West into the hands of the Soviet Union

Shoah(

)
3 editions published between 1985 and 2013 in English and French and held by 687 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Over a decade in the making, this monumental investigation of the unthinkable: the murder of more than six million Jews by the Nazis. Using no archival footage, Claude Lanzmann instead focuses on first-person testimonies (of survivors and former Nazis, and other witnesses), employing a circular, free-associative method in assembling them. The intellectual yet emotionally overwhelming Shoah is not a film about excavating the past but an intensive portrait in which the past is always present

Karski was a young diplomat when war broke out in 1939 with Hitler's invasion of Poland. Taken prisoner by the Soviet Red Army, which had simultaneously invaded from the East, Karski narrowly escaped the subsequent Katyn Forest Massacre. He became a member of the Polish Underground, the most significant resistance movement in occupied Europe, acting as a liaison and courier between the Underground and the Polish government-in-exile. He was twice smuggled into the Warsaw Ghetto, and entered the Nazi's Izbica transit camp disguised as a guard, witnessing first-hand the horrors of the Holocaust

Tras la invasión alemana de Polonia, el gobierno polaco se instala en el exilio. El joven Jan Kozielewski (Jan Karski) recibe la importante misión de hacer de correo entre este gobierno y la resistencia interior. Comienza así una trepidante historia de espionaje, detenciones, lealtad y camaradería que le llevará a recorrer Europa en plena guerra, y que termina con una sorprendente visita al gueto de Varsovia y el descubrimiento, al entrar clandestinamente en un campo de concentración, de la existencia del terrible plan de asesinato sistemático del pueblo judío; un plan que él mismo se encargaría de denunciar por primera vez al mundo ante oídos incrédulos. El libro, escrito por su autor sólo un año después de sus extraordinarias aventuras, recoge, con una enorme capacidad narrativa, todos los detalles e historias que le sobrevinieron. En palabras del propio Karski: El autor no cuenta más que lo que él mismo ha vivido, visto y escuchado

3 editions published in 2015 in English and Polish and held by 15 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Karski & The Lords of Humanity is a feature-length partially animated documentary project. The film tells the story of a member of the Polish underground who acted as a courier during World War II and whose most prominent mission was to inform the Allied powers of Nazi crimes against the Jews of Europe in an effort to prevent the Holocaust. Jan Karski infiltrated the Warsaw Ghetto and a Transit Camp and carried his dreadful eye-witness report of the atrocities to Britain and the United States, hoping that it would shake the conscience of the powerful leaders or - as Karski would call them - the Lords of Humanity
