Sinossi
"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

"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)
"His [Karski's] engrossing biography is valuable, for it tempers the widespread contention that Gentile Poland was indifferent to the plight of Jews."—Publishers Weekly
"A significant account of personal heroism—not only dramatic as a story, but also a compelling moral message regarding the human condition. . . . A superb read."—Zbigniew Brzezinski
"Jan Karski emerges from these pages as truly one of the 'righteous among nations.' It is the shame of history that . . . none of the leaders of the free world would heed his call for help."—Abraham Foxman, National Director, Anti-Defamation League
"Karski['s] is a remarkable story . . . which the authors tell with sympathy and verve."—The Times Literary Supplement (London)

Karski: How One Man Tried to Stop the Holocaust
Da: The Secret Bookshop, Tararua, Nuova Zelanda
Valutazione del venditore 5 su 5 stelle
Soft cover. Condizione: Very Good. A very clean copy. An instinctive survivor, a soldier driven by a single-minded focus on his mission, an extraordinary man in an extraordinary time, Jan Karski became a legend. A young Polish diplomat turned cavalry officer at the outbreak of World War II, Karski joined the Polish underground movement in 1939 after ingeniously escaping from a Soviet detention camp. Most of the Polish officers held with him were later executed. Karski became a courier for the underground crossing enemy lines to serve as liaison between occupied Poland and the free world. Captured by the Gestapo in 1940 he was savagely tortured. Afraid that the Germans would extract secrets from him he slashed his wrists. But after the suicide attempt failed, he escaped from a hospital with the help of an underground commando team. His work had just begun. Karski, a Roman Catholic, developed a keen concern for the plight of the Jews under Nazi domination. 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 carry an authentic eyewitness report, Karski agreed to tour Warsaw's Jewish Ghetto in disguise. The suffering he saw there was only a prelude to the atrocities he witnessed when he later volunteered to be smuggled into a camp that was part of the Nazi murder machine. Carrying searing tales of inhumanity, Karski reached London in late 1942 and set out to alert the world to the emerging Holocaust. He met secretly with top Allied officials, including British foreign secretary Anthony Eden, and with intellectuals like H.G. Wells and Arthur Koestler. Some reacted viscerally to his message. Others responded with disbelief or indifference.In July 1943, Karski traveled secretly to Washington, where he briefed President Roosevelt in a dramatic meeting. This fully documented account of Karski's myriad encounters discloses new information about how leaders in the West reacted to the Holocaust. Karski is the first definitive account of Jan Karski's mission, which was perhaps the most significant warning of the impending Holocaust to reach the free world. It is a compelling story of moral courage against all odds. Codice articolo 046277
