The Holocaust is a central event in many people's lives, but it also has become a metaphor for our century. There cannot be an end to speaking and writing about it. Besides, in Israel, everyone carries a biography deep inside him.

It seems unavoidable that history will always link the reestablishment of the State of Israel with the tragedy of the Holocaust.

The Holocaust of Nazi Germany is certainly no less of a historic crime than the Holocaust that went on for centuries against African-Americans. That process of reparations, and a truth and reconciliation discussion, was extremely helpful in the country of Germany, and we need to have that here.

I have not changed my opinion that the Holocaust is a trauma of European civilization.

The Holocaust also shows us how a combination of events and attitudes can erode a society's democratic values.

Even post-WWII, nobody talked about the Holocaust. It wasn't until the '50s that people started talking about it.

The Holocaust illustrates the consequences of prejudice, racism and stereotyping on a society. It forces us to examine the responsibilities of citizenship and confront the powerful ramifications of indifference and inaction.

I believe that the Holocaust is the most significant event in human history.

The Holocaust was an obscene period in our nation's history. I mean in this century's history. But we all lived in this century. I didn't live in this century.
