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.

Sometimes we must interfere. When human lives are endangered, when human dignity is in jeopardy, national borders and sensitivities become irrelevant. Whenever men or women are persecuted because of their race, religion, or political views, that place must - at that moment - become the center of the universe.

There is much to be done, there is much that can be done... one person of integrity can make a difference.

That I survived the Holocaust and went on to love beautiful girls, to talk, to write, to have toast and tea and live my life - that is what is abnormal.

For us it's not easy to be conformist, I cannot stand to be conformist, I don't accept what it is, I like to say no. If I see an injustice I scream.

Never shall I forget those moments that murdered my God and my soul and turned my dreams to ashes.

The deeper the nostalgia and the more complete the fear, the purer, the richer the word and the secret.
