XI Nie bądź obojętny

A book commemorating the 95th birthday of Marian Turski – a distinguished historian and journalist, who has tirelessly worked to preserve the memory of the Holocaust, is celebrated in this personal volume. Turski, a former Auschwitz prisoner and survivor of the Łódź ghetto and death marches, shares his most significant speeches delivered on momentous occasions, such as the anniversary of the Auschwitz-Birkenau liberation, the liquidation of the Łódź ghetto, the opening of the Museum of the History of Polish Jews, and UNESCO's International Holocaust Remembrance Day. These speeches are enriched with his reflections on his life's journey, the ways in which the Holocaust is remembered, and the challenges posed by today's world."Thou Shalt Not Be Indifferent" presents a vital message from history, urging readers to uphold decency by remembering the past, which often repeats, and by refusing to be indifferent. Turski emphasizes that if he had to distill his myriad experiences and lessons into just a couple of words, they would be empathy and compassion, highlighting their supreme importance in life.
