An indifference to suffering makes humans inhuman

In the concentration camps, we discovered this whole universe where everyone had his place. The killer came to kill, and the victims came to die.

For the survivor who chooses to testify, it is clear: his duty is to bear witness for the dead and for the living. He has no right to deprive future generations of a past that belongs to our collective memory. To forget would be not only dangerous but offensive; to forget the dead would be akin to killing them a second time.
