A short but no less powerful plea for engagement, indignation, and resistance. Admittedly, many reasons to be indignant and thus initiate change are not as obvious today as they were in [a:Stéphane Hessel|2539023|Stéphane Hessel|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1322739111p2/2539023.jpg]'s time in the Résistance - as he points out - but this does not mean that there are no reasons, or that this can be used as an excuse to not be indignant. The strengthening of the right, especially in Europe and the US, and the effects of climate change are now much more prominent than they may have been a few years ago. What particularly infuriates me is how blatantly human rights are being mistreated. The fact that many countries, especially when it comes to the rights of the LGBTQIA+ community and self-determination, resist human rights with excuses like »we’ve always done it this way« and »if you allow these rights, society will collapse« is simply inhumane and untrue.
The book often reminded me of a quote by [a:Hannah Arendt|12806|Hannah Arendt|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1608634661p2/12806.jpg], especially when Hessel talks about change.
»Indignez-vous !« by a Résistance fighter, concentration camp survivor, and co-author of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, urges us to be indignant, and rightfully so. A must-read for basically everyone!

Evil is always only extreme, but never radical, it has no depth, no demonism. It can devastate the whole world precisely because it continues to grow like a fungus on the surface. But deep and radical is always only the good.

Want to read "Harry's Last Stand" but only have twenty minutes to spare? Then try this.
Está bien (2 estrellas es ok). Tiene info interesante sobre la resistencia francesa, e ideas lógicas y con las que estaremos de acuerdo casi 100% sobre Israel, la lucha política, etc. Ahora bien, lo de la no violencia, en mi humilde opinión, creo que lo tendría que pulir bastante más (supongo que lo hará en otra publicación), porque se me ha quedado poco convincente con las 3 frases de Sartre y la esperanza depositada en la DUDH.
A short essay that encourages young people to actively take part in changing the world around us. It argues a little bit with facts but it's more about passion and enthusiasm - and hope.

Ενδιαφέρον να ακούς αυτόν τον άνθρωπο να μιλάει που έχει ζήσει τόσα. Συμφωνώ έτσι κάπως γενικά και αόριστα με την αγανάκτηση και την ανάγκη πολιτικοποίησης και δράσης. Παραδόξως το να μου παραθέτει τα επιχειρήματα του Σάρτρ υπέρ της βίας δεν λειτούργησε στο να με πείσει να καταδικάσω την βία όπως φαίνεται να περίμενε ο συγγραφέας. Εκτός και αν ήταν δύο βήματα μπροστά μας και μας έπαιξε αντίστροφη ψυχολογία.

An important booklet for its conveyed strong message. Get outraged at injustice and as a corollary “get involved” and committed to the just causes. Yes, indeed - there is an obvious need to support the ideals of justice peace, freedom, equality, as well as the preservation of humankind in a life-friendly environment, and this is more than a timely challenge. Just look around you, and you may see a world in turmoil. It needs confirmed heroes of the kind of Stéphane Hessel to promote such a motivating statement, to generate new human mindsets and associated behaviors. That is, in my humble opinion, the whole value of this influencer book. I will continue to occasionally read it like a breviary, so to say - a meditation prayer in the morning.
