    We all know the terrible atrocities WW2 produced. We all have seen things that made every one of us cry. I would like to start a thread where extraordinary hero stories are posted. As a kid I hear stories of Polish and British soldiers breaking into Auschwitz to get the proof out.

    Here is a first one.

    Polish Senate posthumously honours WW II hero Jan Karski - National-

    "Polish Senate posthumously honours WW II hero Jan Karski."

    He broke into the Warsaw Ghetto several times to smuggle out the evidance of Holocaust. He even met with Roosevelt couple of times, as well as other civic leaders, but most could not believe him.

    Hope to read other stories of heroes from all around the world.
