Honoring International Holocaust Remembrance Day. Join Academy Award nominee and Golden Globe winner David Strathairn (Good Night and Good Luck; Lincoln, The Expense), writer-director Derek Goldman, Emmy Award-winning film producer Eva Anisko, and playwright Clark Young for a program of performance and discussion featuring excerpts from Strathairn's virtuoso performance (and forthcoming feature film) Remember This, in which he embodies the story of Polish World War II hero and Holocaust witness Jan Karski. A courier for the Polish Underground, Karski volunteered at great risk to carry eyewitness reports of the destruction of the Jewish people of Poland to the Free World. From the underground tracks of Polish resistance to the despair of the Warsaw Ghetto and Nazi camps, to the Oval Office, this work explores and celebrates the complex life and legacy of a witness, spy, diplomat, hero, and Georgetown University Professor.
