Google History Project Highlights Karski Story

Google has begun an online Cultural Institute, a digital archive of landmark 20th-century events and people, in cooperation with 17 museums and institutes from around the world. One of the museums was the Museum of Polish History, a major partner of the Campaign.  

The archives features legends like Anne Frank and Nelson Mandela, along with Jan Karski. The many photos, text, videos and audio recordings are available on the Google Cultural Institute website at www.google.com/culturalinstitute.    

Karski's story can be directly seen at http://www.google.com/culturalinstitute/#!exhibit:exhibitId=QR_UaCtP.  

The number of topics will be enlarged over the years, but it's impressive that Karski was included in the first wave, indicating his importance to history.  

“It’s a fantastic tool, which lets us cross geographic borders, provide access to museum collections around the clock in several languages. It’s a real revolution,” said Robert Kostro, director of the Museum of Polish History.
