Jan Karski infiltrated the Warsaw Ghetto and a Nazi Transit Camp and carried his dreadful eye-witness report of the atrocities to Britain and the United States, hoping that it would shake the conscience of the powerful leaders or \u2013 as he would later call them – the Lords of Humanity.<\/p>\n Our project offers an earnest portrait of an extraordinary individual and a unique perspective on the history of World War II and the Holocaust. It is a story of a man juggled between life and death while fulfilling a desperate mission to stop the annihilation of European Jews. The movie will portray the biggest tragedy of the 20th century as reflected in the life of a single individual. His mission was not a failure. The risks Karski took to witness the Final Solution firsthand and the mind-shattering reports he delivered about it forced Allied leaders to confront the horror for the first time. When Karski broke the taboos of his exiled government and began to speak out about the fate of the Jews, he played a major role https:\/\/example-essays.com<\/a> in shaping public opinion in the free world.<\/span><\/p>\n The innovative fusion of technologies employed by our team will create a unique film reality, and will bring Karski\u2019s compelling story to life. The film will employ fiction-like scenes presented by means of animation techniques intertwined with documentary scenes and archival footage, including authentic voice-over by Jan Karski himself. Thanks to animation techniques, we will be able to recreate the events, which took place during Karski\u2019s World War II mission. We will be able to recreate his treacherous visit to the Warsaw Ghetto, where he witnessed the indignities and traumas to which Jews were being subjected in Nazi-occupied Poland only months preceding the Final Solution. Hours of interviews recorded with Jan Karski after the war will provide the most authentic first person narrative, and will accompany the animated reenactment of events against the background of authentic archival footage.<\/p>\n “Kino Swiat” a major film distribution force in Polish cinema, decided to open “Karski & The Lords of Humanity” at 49 theaters rather than 15 as it was originally planned.

In your film everything is sharp, one can hear the sound of bones hitting the pavement, the wheels rattle. I feel pain and fear, looking at this scene.” <\/span><\/p>\n A film review of “Karski & The Lords of Humanity” by top Polish film critic: Tadeusz Sobolewski, Polish Daily “Gazeta Wyborcza” 04.09.2015 “Jan Karski: A Bond who Cries. An excellent new film.” <\/span><\/p>\n “Karski’s Mission Continues” Tygodnik Powszechny, Anita Piotrowska “You needed S\u0142awomir Grunberg, a noted American director with Polish (and Jewish) roots – in order to break into the wider consciousness with the history of Jan Karski …Grunberg created a modern and attractive documentary and combined known and unknown archives with great animation sequences.”<\/span><\/p>\n “I am shaken and deeply moved by this film. … I am very happy because this film will encourage young people.” says Wies\u0142awa Kozielewska-Trzaska, Jan Karski’s niece after watching “Karski & The Lords of Humanity” at POLIN Museum of History of the Polish Jews in Warsaw. Polskieradio.pl<\/span><\/p>\n “Jan Karski was a witness of the Holocaust” says Grzegorz Schetyna – Minister of Foreign Affairs of Poland at the premiere of “Karski & The Lords of Humanity” at POLIN Museum of History of the Polish Jews in Warsaw. Present at the premiere were also: Radoslaw Sikorski – Marshal of the Sejm and Adam Rotfeld Former Minister of Foreign Affairs of Poland<\/span><\/p>\n “In Slawomir Grunberg’s movie the archival footage, interviews and the modern animation build Karski’s portrait as an unshaken moral aristocrat. “Karski & The Lords of Humanity” is a moving story about war cruelty, which leaves its mark.” Bartosz Staszczyszyn <\/span><\/p>\n “Won although Lost. A real ‘Man of Iron’, a character worthy show to young people seeking role models” says the director. “Rzeczpospolita” Daily by Ma\u0142gorzata Piwowar. <\/span><\/p>\n “A film by Slawomir Grunberg, an American director with the Polish roots (left Poland in 1981) uses partly known footage, among others from Lanzmann’s “Shoah”. It is however the original piece of work if only because of the innovative use of the animation….. Deeply moving film” ‘Polityka’ weekly, Zdzislaw Pietrasik, Film review. <\/span><\/p>\n “Polska – The Times” An interview with Slawomir Grunberg “”Karski & The Lords of Humanity” doesn’t distort history. I expect criticism. Karski should be a role model for the young generation.”<\/span><\/p>\n “An amazing documentary film about Jan Karski, who as eyewitness told the West the truth about the Holocaust.” M.Kultuta.Gazeta.Pl<\/span><\/p>\n A Polish Radio on “Karski & The Lords of Humanity” movie.
