Quotes by Anna Bikont  (?)

“Przytacza (profesor psychologii Krystyna Skarżyńska) badania Janusza Grzelaka i Bogdana Wojciszke, że Polacy traktują narodowe cierpienia jako rodzaj specjalnego wkładu czy inwestycji, za które należy im się od świata więcej niż innym. "Uważamy się za wyjątkowych, przypisujemy sobie moralne zasługi i szczególny wkład w losy świata. Badania wykazują, że ludzie tak myślący szczególnie łatwo akceptują zabijanie niewinnych".”
― Anna Bikont, The Crime and the Silence: Confronting the Massacre of Jews in Wartime Jedwabne
