"One day, a man or a woman will enter this sanctuary or remembrance and wonder, was it all true? Was the killer really that cruel? Were the victims that hopeless, that lonley, that abandoned? Not to remember means to side with the executioners against its victims; not to remember means to kill the victims a second time; not to remember means to become an accomplice of the enemy. On the other hand, to remember means to feel compassion for the victims of all persecutions." Elie Wiesel, excerpts from the Holocaust Memorial Dedication, February 4, 1990.
