I'm not a political person. I usually beware of political persons. I know many, but I'm not one of them. I have no political ambitions.

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. Genocide is something else. Genocide has been actually codified by the United Nations. It's the intent of killing, the intent of killing people, a community in this culture so forth, but no other people has been really interested.

The sincere Christian knows that what died in Auschwitz was not the Jewish people but Christianity.

I have a tremendous respect for Professor [Frank Moore] Cross.

Just as man cannot live without dreams, he cannot live without hope. If dreams reflect the past, hope summons the future.

I believe a human being - if he or she wants to remain human, then he or she must do something with what we have seen, endured, witnessed.

For the dead and the living, we must bear witness.
