Vistula Boulevards

This guide to the Vistula Boulevards in Warsaw follows the stretch named for Jan Karski, a young Polish underground courier who let himself be smuggled into the Warsaw ghetto in nineteen forty-two to witness what was happening there. It traces his journey out of occupied Poland to carry what he saw to Allied leaders, including a meeting with President Roosevelt in the Oval Office, and the reception his account received. You'll also hear about the boulevard's own history, rebuilt and reopened to walkers only in twenty fifteen.
