No gassing took place in any camp on Germany soil.

Survival is a privilege which entails obligations. I am forever asking myself what I can do for those who have not survived.

Tolerance and human rights require each other.

None of my 'clients' - not Eichmann, not Stangl, not Mengele, and not even Hitler or Stalin - was born a criminal. Somebody had to teach them to hate: maybe the society, maybe the politics, maybe just a Jewish prostitute.

What connects two thousand years of genocide? Too much power in too few hands.

You're a religious man, ... You believe in God and life after death. I also believe. When we come to the other world and meet the millions of Jews who died in the camps and they ask us, 'What have you done?' there will be many answers. You will say, 'I became a jeweler.' Another will say, 'I smuggled coffee and American cigarettes.' Another will say, 'I built houses.' But I will say, 'I didn't forget you.'

What happened to the Jews cannot be compared with all the other crimes. Every Jew had a death sentence without a date.
