Saw Slawomir Grunberg’s film about Karski last night.

Have not seen the film, but a great man. One of the most famous quotes (Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter) surrounding his meetings with American officials.

A man like me talking to a man like you must be totally frank. So I must say: I am unable to believe in what I have just heard, in all the things that you have just told me.’

It's frequently not made clear that Justice Frankfurter didn't disbelieve Karski's reports, he was unable to due to his position. Not exactly a example of courage, but more honest than FDR, who discounted him.
