In October 1942, during the height of the destruction of Polish Jewry, the Polish underground ordered Jan Karski to carry a report to the government-in-exile in London. Before he left, two Jewish leaders from the Warsaw ghetto met him. Their message was simple: “Our entire people will be destroyed.”

Karski decided he needed to see it himself. At enormous personal risk, he was smuggled into the Warsaw ghetto and later into the Izbica transit camp near Lublin, disguised among the guards. He watched starving children, naked corpses left in the streets, and Jews packed into freight cars for the killing centers. The images never left him. He became not only the courier of the Polish underground but the witness who insisted the free world hear what was happening to the Jews.

He reached London in November 1942 and briefed the Polish government-in-exile and British officials, including Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden. In July 1943, he met President Roosevelt in Washington and described what he had seen. Roosevelt listened, and then asked questions about other matters.

Karski later wrote that he had failed in his wartime mission. In 1981, he told American officers who had liberated the camps: “And thus I myself became a Jew … so have all the Jews who were slaughtered become my family. But I am a Christian Jew … My faith tells me the second original sin has been committed by humanity. This sin will haunt humanity to the end of time. And I want it to be so.”

Yad Vashem recognized him as Righteous Among the Nations in 1982, not because he saved individual Jews, but because he risked his life to enter the ghetto and a transit camp and carried their message to leaders of the free world. In 1994, Israel granted him honorary citizenship. He called it the proudest day of his life.

Karski had been a Polish diplomat and underground courier. After the war, he became a Georgetown professor. The silence that greeted his reports never stopped troubling him. He spent the rest of his life insisting that the world had known and had not acted in time.

@TotalProSports That's good!

@StephenJ_Caruso Many believe Pennsylvania already has too many laws and do not consider that a bad statistic.
While others relate it to leadership, or lack thereof.
Personally, I dont have an opinion.

@EddyFisher240 It's September 1, #RabbitRabbit - let's start the month with Johnny Carson and Sam Kinison. Forget the news, forget the current late-night shows... watch Johnny Carson. Enjoy life.

Hey, I’ve got an idea. Let’s all watch Terry Bradshaw sling touchdown passes for two minutes.

@JoshShapiroPA What do you do different? Are you a uniter?
If you think so, please read your own posts, listen to your own comments.
Be the man you used to be.

Sure, Ohtani is awesome but let’s not forget this motherfucker played every position at the same time.

Omg. Jerry Seinfeld is a LEGEND.

“Pro-Palestine” nut jobs interrupted his show, take a listen to his response. I can’t stop laughing.

“You just gave money to a Jew. That cannot be a good plan for you”

If you handed me these you wouldn’t see or hear from me for at least eight hours.

@Super70sSports I couldn't wait to see which @Mets were in my pack. Then we'd flip 'em, do farsies and closies. Put them in the spokes of our bikes. Gosh they were fun!

[Stephen A. Miskin @Sam1963]

@GovSherrillNJ @GovernorShapiro Gov. Sherill and almost all politically partisan Democrats miss the point of various election frauds. They constantly claim election fraud doesn't happen at all, only a few instances, or wouldn't have changed results.
Wrong!
Each fraudulent vote takes someone else's vote away.

[Stephen A. Miskin @Sam1963]

@GovSherrillNJ No question, @GovernorShapiro will continue his non-transparent ways, claim all is well... and better in PA, yet refuse to share corroborating data. And he will generally get a pass from most of the media. Burying your head in the sand is a poor approach.

Throwback to when George H.W Bush went on air to call Dana Carvey’s impression of him “bad” 🤣

The greatest are always questioned. But we can say that when it came to including all people “the Great” Babe Ruth led during his era when it was not popular to share with those of different color. It was never credited to him. He barnstormed with many of the great black baseball teams playing games against them in different towns to show how many of the black baseball teams were just as good or better than those of the all white teams that existed in the Major leagues. for so long. Things like this should be noted because it adds to all of us and that’s what His (the man from above) idea was meant for us to understand. That, I’ll say added to our society. This was a characteristic of the Great Home Run hitter Babe Ruth. That I believe should be noted.
Yes he was a difference maker with his abilities to influence for the better of all. Now that’s a difference maker

[Kosher @koshercockney]

Holy shit.

Okay, I’m not gonna lie, this is badass.

Wow.
