善良な人々が沈黙するとき

リベイラン・プレト、エスコラ・コンセプトの8年生であるガブリエラ・ガデーリャが、無関心の危険と不正に立ち向かう必要性についてTEDxで語っています。人々が反応しないと、憎しみは小さなところから始まり、大きくなっていくと述べています。彼女の話は、アウシュビッツを訪れた経験を軸にしています。収容所の土地に立つことで、歴史的な統計が人間的な現実として感じられたといいます。講演では、偽りの人種的優越の考えのもとで、子どもや迫害された少数派を含む100万人以上がそこで殺害されたと伝えています。

• アウシュビッツ訪問と、統計の背後にある人間的な現実
• 沈黙が憎しみを育てる仕組み
• 他者を守るための能動的な共感

In this TEDx presentation, Gabriela Gadelha addresses the dangers of indifference and the imperative to stand up against injustice, reflecting on how hatred starts small and grows when people fail to react. The speaker shares the story of her visit to Auschwitz to illustrate how standing on the same ground where millions perished revealed the deeply human reality behind historical statistics. She also highlights key facts about the concentration camp, pointing out that over one million people, including thousands of children and persecuted minorities, were murdered under false notions of racial superiority. Gadelha invites the audience to reflect on their own role in preventing future tragedies and how to ensure such atrocities never happen again, and recalls Edmund Burke's famous quote: "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." Gabriela reminds us that empathy is not merely a passive feeling, but an active commitment to stand up for others, encouraging everyone to break their silence and take a stand against wrongdoings.
