"Zauzimite strane. Neutralnost pomaze tiraninu, nikad zrtvi. Tisina ohrabruje mucitelja, nikad onog koji je mucen." Elie Wiesel

" Jednog dana unucad ce nas pitati: Gdje ste bili tijekom holokausta zivotinja? Sto ste ucinili protiv tih uzasnih zlocina? Necemo im moci i drugi put ponuditi istu izliku- da nismo znali." Helmut Kaplan

Jarring, eye-opening stuff. Holocaust comparisons are almost universally shunned, often for good reason, and this could have been as trite as a PETA ad.
