The persecution of Jews in occupied Poland meant that we could see horror emerging gradually in many ways. In 1939, they were forced to wear Jewish stars, and people were herded and shut up into ghettos. Then, in the years '41 and '42 there was plenty of public evidence of pure sadism. With people behaving like pigs, I felt the Jews were being destroyed. I had to help them. There was no choice.

I had to help them. There was no choice.

I knew the people who worked for me. When you know people, you have to behave towards them like human beings.

I was now resolved to do everything in my power to defeat the system.

Power is when you have every justification to kill someone, and then you don't.

If you saw a dog going to be crushed under a car, wouldn’t you help him?

I am the conscience of all those who knew something - but did nothing.
