Prof. Elie Wiesel 5/11/2000

To be indifferent to suffering is what makes the human being inhuman. Indifference, after all, is more dangerous than anger and hatred.

Former Israeli Chief of Staff Amnon Lipkin Shahak 20/4/98

Today the General Staff visited the Mount of Remembrance in order to remember, to see and to understand - not the Holocaust which is incomprehensible to understand in human terms - but to understand our task, here in this country as the successors of those who perished there, to understand the importance of a Jewish homeland safety and security for the Jewish people and to understand the awesome responsibility that we bear as the General Staff of Israel’s Defense Forces.

Former US Secretary of State Warren Christopher 23/2/93

I am deeply moved by this powerful evocation of the past. The memory of the Holocaust, kept alive within these walls, serves as an enduring challenge to humanity to find the courage to preserve human dignity and the resolution to fight intolerance and hatred wherever it exists.

US National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice August 2000

Thank you for remembering. Perhaps by remembering we can try to pledge that it should not happen again. God bless those who have made this place possible - and God bless the memories of those souls remembered here.
