Jan Karski
Jan Karski was a Polish resistance fighter and diplomat who became known for his efforts to inform the Allies about the Holocaust during World War II. His courageous work included acting as a courier for the Polish Underground and making perilous journeys to deliver messages and reports. Karski's testimony about the atrocities he witnessed, including the treatment of Jews in ghettos, was presented to world leaders, including President Franklin D. Roosevelt, yet was largely ignored at the time. After the war, he authored 'Story of a Secret State,' detailing his experiences and the plight of the Jewish people, making a significant contribution to historical awareness of the Holocaust.
