I do not pretend to get given an exhaustive picture of the Polish Underground, its business and its own activities. Because of our methods, I think that there is nobody today who could give an all-embracing recital...This reserve is a purely personal tale, my story. Jan Karski's Second World Conflict memoir is a heroic act of witness: the courageous testimony of a guy who risked everything for his country. First published in 1944, the reserve became an instantaneous bestseller in america while the conflict still raged in Europe. At times overpowering in the details it unveils of the suffering of common people, it can be an remarkable and deeply affecting record of brutality, courage, and success under conditions of extreme bleakness. Through the first four years of World Conflict II, Karski did the trick as a messenger for the underground, risking his life in top secret missions. He was captured, tortured, rescued, smuggled through the tunnel in to the Warsaw ghetto and, finally, disguised himself as a officer to infiltrate a Nazi death camp. Then, exploring across occupied Europe to England, along with his eye-witness report smuggled on microfilm in the handle of a razor, he became the first man to inform the Allies about the Holocaust - only to be ignored.
