"We need to look squarely at the dark side of human behaviour, at the same time, hold onto the vision of human possibility." (Snow, Mack, Burt, 1991)

 

    "As my fathers planted me before I was born, so do I plant for those who will come after me." Talmud
  ì The world is a dangerous place in which to live ... not because of those who do evil, but because of the good people who allow evil to happen.î
 
 
ì We are all different; because of that, each of us has something different and special to offer and each and every one of us can make a difference by not being indifferent.î  Henry Friedman Chairman of the Holocaust Education Centre in Seattle, Washington.
  A prayer of the Holocaust

"As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

 
Each of us has a name,
given by the mountains,
and given by our walls..
The Creed of a Holocaust Survivor
A poem by survivor Alexander Kimel.
"I do believe, with all my heart,
In the natural Goodness of Man.
Despite the blood and destruction,
Brought by one man, trying to be God,
In the Goodness of Man, I do believe..."
