For some, he was a legendary journalist for "Polityka," for others, a guardian of the memory of the Holocaust, and for millions of people around the world, the author of words that have become the moral message of our times: "Auschwitz did not fall from the sky" and "Don't be indifferent." Marcin Zaremba's guest is Marek Zając, a longtime journalist for "Tygodnik Powszechny," secretary of the International Auschwitz Council, and author of the book "Indifferent. 100 Portraits of Marian Turski." This is a personal story about a man who survived the Auschwitz concentration camp, the Łódź Ghetto, and death marches, yet never lost his faith in humanity or his sense of humor. We discuss why, for nearly three decades after the war, Marian Turski barely spoke about his wartime experiences and the meaning of the Auschwitz syndrome described by Antoni Kępiński. We consider why some survivors were able to return to life, while many others struggled with trauma until the end. We also recall the extraordinary memories of Marian Turski: editor, historian, and diplomat. We learn about his work at the Polin Museum, his negotiations regarding the memory of the Holocaust, and his fight for the historical truth regarding the number of Auschwitz victims. We also discuss his famous 11th Commandment and the message "do not be indifferent," which became one of the most important warnings against indifference to hatred and exclusion. This is also a story about the extraordinary memory, modesty, and sense of humor of a man who co-founded the weekly "Polityka" for nearly seven decades and devoted his entire life to ensuring that the Holocaust of European Jews and the history of Polish Jews are not forgotten. ✅ 3 things you'll learn from this episode: 1.
