A fictionalized story of the real-life Polish diplomat and resistance worker Jan Karski, who was tasked with visiting the Warsaw ghetto and a concentration camp and carrying his observations to the Allied Powers. It was hoped that the urgency of his message in addition to his eyewitness details would persuade Churchill and Roosevelt to take direct action to liberate the Jews of Poland and beyond. An emotional yet erudite account with interesting reflections on Polish identity.
