Join the Green School for an impactful panel conversation following a special screening of "Remember This," a genre-defying film that tells the true story of Jan Karski, a reluctant World War II hero and Holocaust witness. After surviving the devastation of the Blitzkrieg, Karski risks his life to deliver eyewitness accounts of war-torn Poland to the Western world. He escapes from a Gestapo prison and witnesses the horrors of the Warsaw Ghetto, as well as an extermination camp, enduring immense suffering to speak truth to authority. The film captures the complexity and legacy of this self-described “insignificant, little man,” whose timely story of moral courage and individual responsibility can still shake the conscience of the world.

In a virtuoso solo performance, Academy Award-nominee David Strathairn (Nomadland, Good Night, and Good Luck, Lincoln) portrays Jan Karski in this genre-defying true story of a reluctant World War II hero and Holocaust witness. After surviving the devastation of the Blitzkrieg, Karski swears allegiance to the Polish Underground and risks his life to carry the first eyewitness reports of war-torn Poland to the Western world, and ultimately, the Oval Office. Escaping a Gestapo prison, bearing witness to the despair of the Warsaw ghetto and confronted by the inhumanity of a death camp, Karski endures unspeakable mental anguish and physical torture to stand tall in the halls of power and speak the truth. Strathairn captures the complexity and legacy of this self-described “insignificant, little man” whose timely story of moral courage and individual responsibility can still shake the conscience of the world.
