Join the Green School for an impactful panel conversation following a special screening of "Remember This," a genre-defying film that tells the true story of Jan Karski, a reluctant World War II hero and Holocaust witness. After surviving the devastation of the Blitzkrieg, Karski risks his life to deliver eyewitness accounts of war-torn Poland to the Western world. He escapes from a Gestapo prison and witnesses the horrors of the Warsaw Ghetto, as well as an extermination camp, enduring immense suffering to speak truth to authority. The film captures the complexity and legacy of this self-described “insignificant, little man,” whose timely story of moral courage and individual responsibility can still shake the conscience of the world.
“Remember This” is a production of Sobremesa Media, featuring David Strathairn as Jan Karski. The film is directed by Jeff Hutchens and Derek Goldman, with Eva Anisko as the producer and executive producer, alongside Michael Anisko and Dan Logan. The screenplay is written by Clark Young and Derek Goldman, and the director of photography is Jeff Hutchens. Alexander Hyde serves as co-producer, while Harlene Freezer is the co-executive producer. The film is edited by Brandon Bray, with music by Roc Lee.
