FAITES-LE!

"If you have a project and you believe in it, do it. If you don't do it, you only have yourself to blame. Human nature is such that once you're committed; you'll always find somebody to help you."

Words are more powerful than weapons or hate. Marek Halter has used words to reverse terrible circumstances, enabling hope and freedom to thrive. Marek Halter is committed to promoting a better and more just world. Be it in Israel/Palestine, Russia, Biafra, Argentina or Afghanistan, his courage has taken him to many battlefields in an attempt to ensure the chief victory is humanity itself. In France, his militancy has had its impact on half a century's worth of major movements, including antiracism, feminism and interfaith dialogue. Caught up in the urgency of these different struggles, Marek Halter had never taken the time to explain the underlying reasons for his actions. In an age in which ideology is a thing of the past, he puts forward a genuinely innovative attitude for individuals in today's world: leading by example. He also examines what motivates people to act, leaving the comfort of their homes to look after others. Marek Halter is a writer devoted to upholding human rights. Defined by a difficult childhood spent in the ghettos of Warsa, he bore the brunt of anti-Semite violence that ravaged Europe in the 1940s. In action and in writing books such as THE MADMAN AND THE KINGS and THE CHILDREN OF ABRAHAM, Marek has been internationally recognised for his progressiveness and moral steadfastness.
