Leading up to the second World War, two Polish men witnessed the targeted extermination of Jews under Adolf Hitler and the German Reich before the reality of the Holocaust was known, but their messages were met with skepticism and denial. Annette Becker examines how Jan Karski and Raphael Lemkin have had a lasting influence on ongoing conversations in human rights and law.
