The text is accompanied by still images from the film, and essays by a range of outstanding contributors, including Samantha Power, Madeleine Albright, Azar Nafisi, and Leo O'Donovan, SJ. The goal is to publish the book this fall to coincide with the release of the film and new presentations of the play. The play and screenplay were inspired by the reissuing (by GU Press) of Jan Karski's Story of a Secret State in 2014. The Laboratory for Global Performance and Politics at Georgetown first presented an early version of Remember This in 2014 with Georgetown students as the actors. Strathairn then become involved, and the play workshopped in New York, Warsaw, Washington, DC, and Princeton, before a fully-realized version was staged for the SFS Centennial in 2019 and in London in January 2020. When the pandemic made further productions of the play impossible, the authors decided to film the production. Jan Karski (1914-2000) served as a liaison officer of the Polish Underground during World War II and carried the first eyewitness report of the Holocaust to UK and US political leadership. After the war, Karski earned a PhD at Georgetown, where he served as a distinguished professor in the School of Foreign Service for forty years. He was recognized as Righteous among the Nations by Yad Vashem and in 2012 was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aRighteous Gentiles in the Holocaust$zPoland$vDrama 615 0$aRighteous Gentiles in the Holocaust 676 $a812/.54 700 $aYoung$b Clark$01826752 701 $aGoldman$b Derek$01826753 701 $aAlbright$b Madeleine$01826754 701 $aEizenstat$b Stuart$01664912 701 $aForna$b Aminatta$01826755 701 $aNafisi$b Azar$0689572 701 $aO'Donovan$b Leo J$01826756 701 $aPower$b Samantha$0501491 701 $aSchneider$b Cynthia P$01826757 701 $aSnyder$b Timothy$0148769 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911009279303321 996 $aRemember This$94394769 997 $aUNINA
