Please give the 2025 documentary "Simon Schama: The Holocaust, 80 Years On" a viewing. It is only 59 minutes long, and has much to teach us.
I met this man Marian Turski there.
"It
comes step by step. Evil comes step by step. And therefore you
shouldn't be indifferent. Let's start with reducing hatred, and trying
to understand different people."
"Auschwitz
did not fall from the sky. It began with small forms of persecution of
Jews. It happened, it means it can happen anywhere. That is why human
rights and democratic constitutions must be defended. The eleventh
commandment is important: Don't be indifferent. Do not be indifferent
when you see historical lies, do not be indifferent when any minority is
discriminated, do not be indifferent when power violates a social
contract."
