Description:

"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)
