In Telling Jan Karski's Story of Holocaust Resistance, Filmmakers Turned to Testimony

Thu, 07/27/2023 - 11:00am
In writing the story of Polish Catholic diplomat Jan Karski, who in 1943 brought eye-witness evidence of Nazi atrocities directly to Western leaders, creators of the play and film "Remember This" had many sources to draw on. But it was Karski’s 1995 interview with the USC Shoah Foundation that was most useful in navigating the intricacies of Karski’s character, providing emotional resonance to the film.
