Humour is the weapon of unarmed people: it helps people who are oppressed to smile at the situation that pains them.

No gassing took place in any camp on Germany soil.

When history looks back I want people to know the Nazis weren't able to kill millions of people and get away with it.

For me the Holocaust was not only a Jewish tragedy, but also a human tragedy. After the war, when I saw that the Jews were talking only about the tragedy of six million Jews, I sent letters to Jewish organizations asking them to talk also about the millions of others who were persecuted with us together - many of them only because they helped Jews.
