	AJC Press Release - AJC President Addresses Memorial Service for Jan Nowak-Jezioranski
		Jan was never the kind of individual who could stand idle in the face of injustice or atrocity.
		Jan was heavily invested in the AJC-sponsored National Polish American-Jewish American Council, of which, I am proud to say, I have been a member for over a decade.
		The story of a non-Jewish Pole, risking his life and the life of his family during World War II to alert the Allies and the Polish Government-in-Exile to the fate of his Jewish countrymen, was an inspiring chronicle amidst the countless tragic and horrifying stories of the Shoah.

	The Canadian Foundation of Polish-Jewish Heritage - Once the Courier from Warsaw, Now the Courier from Washington - Guy Billauer
		Nowak's call for an inclusive commemoration of the 60th anniversary of the massacre, his essays about Polish pride and Polish guilt, his realization that this difficult debate carried within it the potential to bring the Polish and Jewish communities closer together, were instrumental in moving the sensitive public discussion in the right direction.
		Nowak's position was that no matter what came out of the official investigation being conducted by the Polish Institute for National Remembrance (IPN), Poland should sustain a courageous fight for historical truth in the Jedwabne case.
		At times, Nowak's departure seemed like the most celebrated event of the summer with so many think tanks and international human rights organizations honoring the 87-year old giant on the eve of departure.

		Jezioranski joined the Polish underground, became "Jan Nowak," and put his linguistic skills, cool wits, and unshakeable courage at the service of his hard-pressed nation, crisscrossing Europe in disguise to bring news of Poland's resistance to the Polish government-in-exile in London and to Poland's British allies.
		It was Jan [Nowak-Jezioranski] who told the West about the 1943 Warsaw Ghetto uprising, and Jan who came to London to brief Churchill on plans for the Polish Home Army's August 1944 Warsaw Uprising.
		For 20 years, Jan Nowak was the "voice" of Radio Free Europe in Poland; Pope John Paul II has told of listening (illegally) to Jan's news broadcasts while shaving in the morning.

	The Summit Times
		The only unpleasant dissonance was the luckily failed attempt to have the congress dominated by a dispute between Polish-American Congress President Edward Moskal and the former director of Radio Free Europe's Polish Section, Jan Nowak-Jezioranski.
		Annoyed by Nowak-Jezioranski's constant urging that Poles apologize to the Jewish nation for the 1941 Jedwabne massacre, Moskal asked whether he might not have something on his own conscience.
		That latter charge apparently referred to stripping Latin American Polonia leader Jan Kobylanski of honorary consul status for criticizing Polish government policy.

	American RadioWorks - Red Runs the Vistula: The Warsaw Uprising of 1944
		Balinska : But when Nowak returned to Warsaw in the summer of 1944, he realised that the military leaders there had a disaster on their hands whatever they did.
		Balinska : The British said no to Nowak because of a tacit agreement Churchill, Roosevelt, and Stalin had signed up to a year earlier, in Teheran, that Poland would be in the Soviet Union's sphere of influence.
		I had access to classified documents and I knew that whatever the final outcome of war, in other words wherever Russians will be on the last day of war, Poland will be occupied only by the Soviet troops and Stalin will be able to do whatever he likes.

	Powell's Books - Review-a-Day - Neighbors: The Destruction of the Jewish Community in Jedwabne, Poland by Jan Tomasz Gross, reviewed by The New Republic Online
		This camp included Jan Nowak-Jezioranski, former director of the Polish service of Radio Free Europe and one of the most respected leaders of the Polish community in America.
		The achievement of this powerful new book by Jan T. Gross — a veteran of the 1968 student demonstrations in Poland — is that it makes it impossible any longer to avoid looking into the forbidden zone.
		So even the apologies and the public gestures of contrition that surfaced in Polish society were mixed with old stereotypes of hate-filled Jews waiting for the opportunity to exonerate the Germans and to blame the Holocaust on the Poles.

	Jan Karski (1914-2000): verkannter Warner vor dem Holocaust
		In den Jahren 1931 bis 1936 studierte er an der "Jan Kazimierz"-Universität in Lwów Jura und bereitete sich auf den diplomatischen Dienst vor.
		Januar 1997 berichtete Jan Karski in der Kölner Synagoge von seinen Erlebnissen, und sein Bericht soll hier im Wortlaut folgen - das Vermächtnis des Mannes, "der den Holocaust stoppen wollte", die tragische Geschichte des Wahrheitskünders, dem niemand glauben wollte.
		Der Pole Karski ließ sich in NS-Ghettos schleusen, beobachtete dort alles und schlug sich später bis in die USA durch, um den Alliierten darüber zu berichten und sie zur Rettung der Juden zu bewegen.
