Answer
Karski was silent about his missions for 37 years because he feared for his family's safety. After World War II, the Soviet Union took control of Poland and Karski did not want to put his family at risk by speaking out against the communist regime. He also feared that his testimony would not be believed, as many people did not want to believe the truth about the Holocaust.
