“Remember This: The Lesson of Jan Karski” by Clark Young and Derek Goldman features SJT favorite Michael Raver in a virtuoso performance portraying Polish World War II hero and Holocaust witness Jan Karski, plus 30 other characters. Karski survived the 1939 Blitzkrieg, joined the Underground and from 1940 to 1943, risked his life to bring firsthand accounts of the Warsaw ghetto and Polish concentration camps to the Allied powers. Directed by Gus Kaikkonen, this story of moral courage and individual responsibility is a cautionary tale about the dangers of complacency and the ways in which a self-described ordinary little man can become a true hero. Single tickets are $34-$46. For more information about Sarasota Jewish Theatre, visit SarasotaJewishTheatre.org.
