From right to left- Chicago Sister Cities International Warsaw Committee Chair Thaddeus J. Makarewicz joins Integra Communications Partner Mario A. Puharich, Head of the Embassy of the Republic of Poland's Trade and Investment Section Pawel Pietrasienski and Author and Former President of the Polish Museum of America Joseph W. Zurawski during a reception announcing the formation of the Jan Karski Educational Foundation on Monday, November 12th at the law offices of Baker & McKenzie LLP. Born in 1914, Karski was a member of the Polish Underground, a World War II resistance movement in occupied Europe. His undercover dispatches offered allied nations significant insight into Nazi atrocities, later detailed in his book Story of a Secret State and earning him a posthumous President Medal of Freedom in 2012. A team of Baker & McKenzie lawyers in Chicago and Warsaw helped to create the non-profit Foundation. © 2012 Brian J. Morowczynski ViaPhotos
