In 2010, Claude Lanzmann's film The Karski Report was released. It is comprised entirely of an interview with Jan Karski, an official in the Polish resistance during World War II whose testimony in Shoah (Lanzmann's seminal film from 1985) remains unforgettable.
The Karski Report outlines Karski's desperate attempts to convey the unimaginable events to the West from occupied Poland. Did he succeed?
