Auschwitz Survivor Reflects on Compassion and Reducing Hatred

2m 40s

Historian Simon Schama speaks with Holocaust survivor Marian Turksi, who shares this message with the world: "Auschwitz did not fall from the sky. 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 other people."

Funding for SIMON SCHAMA: THE HOLOCAUST, 80 YEARS ON was provided in part by the Ford Foundation, The Polonsky Foundation, The Sylvia A. and Simon B. Poyta Programming Endowment to Fight Antisemitism, Patti Askwith Kenner, The David Berg Foundation, Georgette Bennett and Leonard Polonsky, and public television viewers.
