QUOTES

FREEDOM
Freedom is not a gift of heaven, you have to fight for it every day”

“there is no freedom without justice.”

HUMAN RIGHTS
“Human rights is the only ideology that deserves to survive”

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

JUSTICE
My cause was justice, not vengeance. My work is for a better tomorrow and a more secure future for our children and grandchildren.

MORE QUOTES
Justice for crimes against humanity must have no limitations.

"Anyone who denies the crimes and genocide of the past is opening up the way for the murders of the future".

As a believer that all of us are accountable before our creator, I have always believed that when my life is over, I shall meet up with those who perished, and they will ask me, "What have you done?" At that moment, I will have the honor of telling them; I have never forgotten you.

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

“Violence is like a weed - it does not die even in the greatest drought.”

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

“If you know from history the danger, then part of the danger is over because it may not take you by surprise as it did your ancestors.”

“We know that we are not collectively guilty, so how can we accuse any other nation, no matter what some of its people have done, of being collectively guilty?”

Hatred can be nurtured anywhere, idealism can be perverted into sadism anywhere. If hatred and sadism combine with modern technology the inferno could erupt anew anywhere.

The combination of hatred and technology is the greatest danger threatening mankind.
