What I'm trying to say is the Holocaust was a horrific crime against humanity and frankly, I would never want to see that repeated.

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.

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

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

I can't really remember a time in my life when I didn't know something about what we call the Holocaust. It was this dark topic that I would know more about when I got older, but which was spoken about in hushed tones.

To me, the Holocaust stands alone as the most horrible human event in modern civilization.

We demand that people don't deny the Holocaust, and we can't ignore the tragedy of another nation.

I've said before that I am not a historian and that when it comes to speaking of the dimensions of the Holocaust, it is the historians that should reflect on it.

The Holocaust changed our perception of morality not only because we discovered that morality is the only thing that can stand up to the ultimate evil, but also because it shifted the focus from society to the individual.

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.
