Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.

It is true that not all the victims were Jews, but all the Jews were victims

All those - or most of those - who went through the experience during the Second World War - they want to remember more - more and more. It's never enough because we feel that we have to tell the story. And no one can tell the story fully.

The more we know, the more pain we have. But because we are human beings, this must be. Otherwise we become objects rather than subjects.

I make a difference between genocide and Holocaust. Holocaust was mainly Jewish, that was the only people, to the last Jew, sentenced to die for one reason, for being Jewish, that's all.

did everything I could in my life to be immune to hatred, because hatred is a cancer.

I'm not a political person, and their ambitions are not mine. They want power. I don't want power.
