Academy Award-nominee David Strathairn delivers a powerful portrayal of Jan Karski, a reluctant hero who defied unimaginable odds to expose the horrors of the Holocaust. Escaping a Gestapo prison, infiltrating the Warsaw ghetto, and witnessing the atrocities of a death camp, Karski carried the first eyewitness accounts of war-torn Poland to the West, ultimately reaching the Oval Office. In his Spoleto Festival USA debut, Strathairn masterfully captures the complexity of this self-described ‘insignificant, little man’ whose extraordinary courage and unwavering moral compass continue to resonate and challenge the world today.
