I'm afraid that ambassador ...Hello Mr. Karski,<br /><br />I'm afraid that ambassador Papée has become a footnote in the history books. His name is sometimes mentioned when Vatican-Polish relations are being discussed. His diplomatic actions are unknown, except for "ambassador Papée protested this...ambassador Papée protested that...". <br /><br />He would be famous, if he was a Westerner. <br />But he was a Pole. And for a Pole there is only one type of heroic role: a noble savage.<br />Preferably a dead one.

I don't know enough about his life to write any kind of post, but I don't think I'd be able to add anything to what is written in the Wiki entry anyway. <br /><br />It seems pretty clear that he was another Polish diplomat, like Ambassador Raczynski, who did their best to alert the world about the Hitlerite genocide and who deserve much more credit than they have been given.
