1. Jan Karski
A hybrid of documentary and fiction, this narrative follows a Polish resistance courier who infiltrates the Warsaw Ghetto and a death camp to bear witness, then risks everything to alert Allied leaders to the ongoing extermination of Jews. Moving from recorded testimony through memoir to a fictionalized inner monologue, it interrogates memory, moral responsibility, and the scandal of Allied inaction.
