Mais, de façon lucide et réaliste, comment faire pour que ce slogan donne lieu à une résistance efficace quand on sait que la connaissance de la Shoah n'a pas empêché le génocide des Tutsi au Rwanda en 1994 ? Et qu'aujourd'hui encore les Yézidis, les Rohingyas ou les Burundais sont confrontés à un tel risque ou ont subi des actes...

"The 1964 Civil Rights Act is best known as a monumental achievement of the civil rights movement, but it also revolutionized the lives of American women. Title VII of the law made it illegal to discriminate "because of sex."
