Frankfurter listened to Karski ’ s detailed accounts of the program of extermination of the Jewish people carried out by the Nazis.

In their book on Karski, Wood and Jankowski state that Karski then wrote an article ( which was published in English, French and Polish ) called Shoah, a Biased Vision of the Holocaust, in which he pleaded for the production of another documentary showing the missing part of his testimony and the help given to Jews by Polish Righteous among the Nations.

“ I do not believe you .” The oral testimony provided by Karksi addresses the moral challenge presented Frankfurter and the human inability to " conceive the unconceivable and to recognize what Karski calls ' the unprecedented.

The Warsaw ghetto is discussed toward the end of the film, and the conditions there are described by Jan Karski, who worked for the Polish government-in-exile and Franz Grassler, a Nazi administrator who liaised with Jewish leaders.

In 1893, with Leo Jogiches and Julian Marchlewski ( alias Julius Karski ), Luxemburg founded the newspaper Sprawa Robotnicza (" The Workers ' Cause "), to oppose the nationalist policies of the Polish Socialist Party, believing that only through socialist revolution in Germany, Austria, and Russia could an independent Poland exist.

In January 1940 Karski began to organize courier missions with dispatches from the Polish underground to the Polish Government in Exile, then based in Paris.

Karski met with Polish politicians in exile including the Prime Minister, as well as members of political parties such as the Socialist Party, National Party, Labor Party, People's Party, Jewish Bund and Poalei Zion.

Karski met with many other government and civic leaders in the United States, including Felix Frankfurter, Cordell Hull, William Joseph Donovan, and Stephen Wise.

In 1944 Karski published Courier from Poland: The Story of a Secret State ( with a selection featured in Collier's six weeks before the book's release ), in which he related his experiences in wartime Poland.

During an interview with Hannah Rosen in 1995 Karski said about the failure of most of the Jews ' rescue from mass murder:

In 1943, Jan Karski, an officer in the Polish underground, traveled to Washington as an emissary of the resistance to meet with Franklin Roosevelt and report to the President on the European conflict and specifically conditions in his own country, Poland.

Roosevelt requested that Karski meet with Justice Frankfurter, as it would be of vital concern for Frankfurter, himself a Jew, to be apprised of the horrors befalling his fellow Jews in Poland.

“ Karski reproduces, for Lanzmann's camera with a theatrical fervor that embodies the shock he felt upon hearing ” Frankfurter render his verdict on the atrocities he had just heard.

In the next years he was traveling to the Federal Republic of Germany, Great Britain, Italy, Israel and the United States, where he got in touch mainly with some of the representatives of Polish emigration ( among others with Jan Nowak-Jeziorański, Jan Karski, Czesław Miłosz and Gustaw Herling-Grudziński ).

During the war, especially from 1942 on, the Polish Government in Exile provided the Allies with some of the earliest and most accurate accounts of the ongoing Holocaust of European Jews and, through its representatives, like the Foreign Minister Count Edward Raczynski and the courier of the Polish Underground movement, Jan Karski, called for action, without success, to stop it.

On 10 October 2003 she received the Order of the White Eagle, Poland's highest civilian decoration, and the Jan Karski Award " For Courage and Heart ," given by the American Center of Polish Culture in Washington, D. C. She was also awarded the Commander's Cross with Star of the Order of Polonia Restituta ( November 7, 2001 ).

The structures in occupied Poland maintained close communication with the government in exile, through radio communications and " hundreds, if not thousands " of couriers, such as Jan Karski.

Quinn went on to graduate from Georgetown University in 1971 with a bachelor's degree from the Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service, where he was a student of Professor Jan Karski and a sports editor for The Hoya.

* September 27, 2006 Epoch Times Editorial on Harry Wu ( quotation referring to Jan Karski and Felix Frankfurter: When Jan Karski disclosed the message of Nazis ' slaughtering of the Jews, the U. S. Supreme Court judge Felix Frankfurter's response to a Polish diplomat was, " Mr. Ambassador, I did not say this young man is lying.

Jan Karski ( 24 April 1914 – 13 July 2000 ) was a Polish World War II resistance movement fighter and later professor at Georgetown University.

Jan Karski was born as Jan Kozielewski on 24 April 1914 in Łódź.

In 1942 Karski was selected by Cyryl Ratajski, the Polish Government's Delegate at Home, to perform a secret mission to prime minister Władysław Sikorski in London.

Karski was to contact Sikorski as well as various other Polish politicians and inform them about Nazi atrocities in occupied Poland.

In order to gather evidence, Karski met Bund activist Leon Feiner and was twice smuggled by Jewish underground leaders into the Warsaw Ghetto for the purpose of showing him first hand what was happening to the Polish Jews.

In 1991, Karski was awarded the Wallenberg Medal of the University of Michigan.

In 1994, Karski was made an honorary citizen of Israel in honor of his efforts on behalf of Polish Jews during the Holocaust ( Shoah ).

In April 2011, the Jan Karski U. S. Centennial Campaign was created to increase interest in the life and legacy of the late Polish diplomat, as we approach the Centennial year of his birth in 2014.

One goal of the Campaign group was to obtain the Presidential Medal of Freedom for Karski in advance of his Centennial, as well as to promote educational activities, including workshops, artistic performances and the revival of his 1944 book, " Story of a Secret State.

In February 2012, independent researcher Helen Radkey discovered that members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints ( or " Mormons ") had conducted baptism for the dead ceremonies in the name of Karski, who was a devout Roman Catholic.

In the last quarter of 1942, thanks to the Polish emissary Jan Karski and his mission, and also by other means, the Governments of the United Kingdom and of the United States were well informed about what was going on in Auschwitz-Birkenau.

He was also known under the aliases Karski and Kujawiak.

In the middle of 1942, Jan Karski, who had been serving as a courier between the Polish underground and the Polish government in exile, was smuggled into the Warsaw Ghetto.

Polish Secret State ( Polish: Tajne państwo ) was a term used by Jan Karski in his book Story of a Secret State, written and first published in the second half of 1944 in the United States.

Persuasion was produced by Leszek Karski on Mighty Boys Records before the group disbanded in 1989.

There is, however, no substantive difference between the two quotations, the one cited above and the filmed interview given by Karski himself in 1978.

In actuality, it seems that Karski only got close enough to witness a Durchgangslager (" sorting and transit point ") for Bełżec in the town of Izbica Lubelska, located midway between Lublin and Bełżec.

In June 1940, the resistance rescued Jan Karski from a hospital there, and a year later 32 people were shot in reprisal for the escape ; several others were sent to concentration camps.
