New York Premiere 7:00pm Friday, November 20, 2026
Scene: Marian Turski (1926–2025) featured in the documentary film
XI: THOU SHALT NOT BE INDIFFERENT.
Turski was a renowned historian, journalist, Holocaust survivor, and former president of the International Auschwitz Committee.
Through a life of extraordinary courage and conviction, Marian Turski learned one of humanity’s greatest lessons: indifference allows injustice to flourish, while compassion and the courage to act can change the world. A survivor of three concentration camps and two death marches, Turski went on to champion human rights, participating in the historic Selma-to-Montgomery civil-rights march led by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
The title is based on Turski’s famous speech on the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz (2020), in which he warned against societal indifference and proposed an “Eleventh Commandment”: “Thou shalt not be indifferent.”
