• Description

  Jan Karski: Photobiography The aim of this publication is to present Jan Karski and his life in a new, original way through imagery, commentary, quotes, and statements. The story of the legendary emissary of the Polish Underground State fits into the context of Polish-Jewish and Polish-American relations, yet retains a much more universal message—it can serve as a moral guide for future generations on all continents. Jan Karski—a patriot devoid of chauvinism, a devout Catholic who opposed anti-Semitism, an intellectual, and a man of action—Professor Karski's persona and work constitute an extraordinary ethical model and embody values ​​whose transmission is particularly important today. Jan Karski's legacy commits us to promoting the spirit of tolerance and civic responsibility, and to opposing totalitarian slogans and ideologies that pave the way for conflict, xenophobia, racism, and anti-Semitism. Throughout his life, Karski was guided by the conviction that his mission provides a lesson for future generations. It's a lesson in empathy for others, yet also in sober realism. It's a message whose meaning endures with the passing of time.
