Summit 2020 - Special Edition
Ordinarily the Edinburgh International Culture Summit, delivered in partnership by the British Council, Scottish Government, UK Government, the Scottish Parliament and the Edinburgh International Festival, would welcome people from around the world to the Scottish Parliament in August, alongside the backdrop of the Edinburgh Festivals.
This year it is not possible to present the Summit in that format. However, the Summit has instead launched a Special Edition online in which a fantastic range of 50 contributors from around the world will bring their voice and expertise to three areas of discussion - Culture and Education, Culture and Social Cohesion and Culture in Vibrant Communities.

OMG he sounds just like him! Perfect! ❤
thank you for the chance to see this great actor perform the words of the great humanist, Jan Karski. Remember this! Magnificent.
This is like hearing my father, also an underground courier, telling stories and the unbelievable lack of appropriate human response
Great Actor. A BIG Thank You for this! ;) Greetings from Poland.
There is nothing this man can’t do in my opinion! One of the greatest actors/performers of our time!
Excellent role play, and message.
Remember this: Jan Karski risked everything, his life, the lives of others he cared for.
Same risked Witold Pilecki, Auschwitz volunteer.
@@meliteletemp9137 Pilecki, Sendler, Kozielewski (known as Karski): Poland's greatest.
Love ❤ great acting
History is not old because it talks about people, history is old because people choose to forget. History is present because it can happen again. The delusion of people is, that history is passed and it cannot happen again. -Human nature has not changed one jot.
Excellent
