Rescue and aid provider, Jan Karski, speaks on the importance of speaking up for others and fighting bigotry. Karski was born in Lodz, Poland to a Catholic family and, as a young man, joined the Polish underground. He was smuggled into the Warsaw ghetto and concentrations camps in Poland to report on the destruction of European Jewry. He later traveled both to the United Kingdom and United States to share his report with Winston Churchill and President Roosevelt. In 1982, Yad Vashem honored Karski as "Righteous Among the Nations."
