I have lost my mother, my father, my five, and ninety relatives in Poland. Poland is for me a cemetery.

The history of man is the history of crimes, and history can repeat. So information is a defence. Through this we can build, we must build, a defence against repetition.

Human rights is the only ideology that deserves to survive

Technology without hatred can be a blessing. Technology with hatred is always a disaster.

God must have been on leave during the Holocaust.

Hatred can be nurtured anywhere, idealism can be perverted into sadism anywhere. If hatred and sadism combine with modern technology the inferno could erupt anew anywhere.

There were millions of such families anxious only for peace and quiet in their own little nests. These were the mounting blocks by which the criminals climbed to power and kept it.

Justice for crimes against humanity must have no limitations.

When history looks back I want people to know the Nazis weren't able to kill millions of people and get away with it.

The end was surely near. The Nazis killed you only when you were naked, because they knew, psychologically, that naked people never resist.

Simon Wiesenthal told me that any political party in a democracy that uses the word 'freedom' in its name is either Nazi or Communist.

There is no denying that Hitler and Stalin are alive today... they are waiting for us to forget, because this is what makes possible the resurrection of these two monsters.

For your benefit, learn from our tragedy. It is not a written law that the next victims must be Jews. It can also be other people.

For me the Holocaust was not only a Jewish tragedy, but also a human tragedy. After the war, when I saw that the Jews were talking only about the tragedy of six million Jews, I sent letters to Jewish organizations asking them to talk also about the millions of others who were persecuted with us together - many of them only because they helped Jews.

The combination of hatred and technology is the greatest danger threatening mankind.

The new generation has to hear what the older generation refuses to tell it.

The schools would fail through their silence, the Church through its forgiveness, and the home through the denial and silence of the parents. The new generation has to hear what the older generation refuses to tell it.

No gassing took place in any camp on Germany soil.
