Holocaust & Human Rights Education Center Jan Karski "One Man Who Tried To Stop The Holocaust" Exhibition & Opening Reception

This exhibition illustrates Jan Karski’s mission of courage during World War II and his subsequent life and testimony. As an emissary for the Polish Underground, Mr. Karski carried classified information from the Resistance in occupied Poland to the Polish government-in-exile, first in France and later in England. He twice entered the Warsaw Jewish Ghetto and later penetrated a Nazi transit camp. In 1943, he met with President Roosevelt. Tragically, the Allies chose not to act on his report.

The 22 panel exhibition is graphically engaging , with its narrative supported by eye-catching period photos, correspondence, and other primary source documents.

The exhibition continues to run through December 3. Gallery hours are Monday-Thursday Noon-5pm, Thursday evenings 6:30-8pm, Sunday 2-5pm
