[2] As the longtime lawyer and confidant of Robert Maxwell, Pisar was possibly the last person to speak to the man (who maintained links to the British MI6, the Soviet KGB and the Israeli Mossad) before he apparently fell to his death from his luxury yacht in November 1991.
[8] Pisar's memoir, Of Blood and Hope, in which he tells the story of how he survived the Holocaust, received the Present Tense literary award in 1981.
[2] After Bernstein's death and the attacks on the World Trade Center, Pisar wrote Dialogue with God, in which he expressed his concern for the future of mankind.
Among distinctions, he was a Grand Officer of the French Legion of Honour by then President Nicolas Sarkozy in 2012 and a Commander of the Order of Merit of the Republic of Poland.
In March 1995, Pisar was appointed an Honorary Officer of the Order of Australia by Queen Elizabeth, "for service to international relations and human rights".
