As early as 1941, two Poles, a Jewish jurist Raphael Lemkin and a resistant Catholic Jan Karski, perceived the extent and specific nature of the destruction of Jews among war crimes. The author places the fight of these men in the long time of the 20th century, from the genocide of the Armenians to that of the Jews, which put into tension the reality of sufferings in front of indifference.
