Stéphane Hessel, 93 years, Jewish German-born naturalized French in 1937 (he is 20 years old), he joined General de Gaulle in 1941 and returned to France in March 1944 to find new places to show radio, in view of the Landing. The joy of seeing it passed, it will not last: arrest, torture, Buchenwald. On the eve of being hanged, he succeeded in extremis, to exchange his identity against that of a French died of typhus. Evasion. Re-arrest. Camp Dora. New escape ... After the war he joined the commission to develop what will be the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
93 years, its end is probably not far away, but his commitment remains intact. "The basic pattern of resistance was outraged " he said. "It is our responsibility to ensure that our society is a society in which we are proud of: the company not undocumented, expulsions, suspicions against immigrants, not this society where challenges pensions, Social Security acquired, not this society where the media are in the hands of the wealthy ".
He called young people for a peaceful uprising: "Take over, indignant you! ", the whole society should not be daunted "Dictatorship by the current international financial markets which threatens peace and democracy."
Stéphane Hessel calls for anger against injustice, against what is proposed as a target for our youth "that mass consumption, the contempt for the weakest and culture, amnesia and widespread competition to the death of all against all "
