• Remember this moment. If we don't convince the field marshal (Fedor von Bock) to fly to Hitler at once and have these orders (Commissar Order) canceled, the German people will be burdened with a guilt the world will not forget in a hundred years. This guilt will fall not only on Hitler, Himmler, Göring, and their comrades but on you and me, your wife and mine, your children and mine, that woman crossing the street, and those children over there playing ball.

• Certainly inside my heart I know degrees of difference. But I can't blame any of these men who share a common fate with me. The big folly of this trial is that it lacks the two men who are to blame for anything which is criminal, namely Hitler and Himmler.

• What will happen once the authentic mass man takes over, we do not know yet, although it may be a fair guess that he will have more in common with the meticulous, calculated correctness of Himmler than with the hysterical fanaticism of Hitler, will more resemble the stubborn dullness of Molotov than the sensual vindictive cruelty of Stalin.

• Los monstruos, entre otros brutos, son los que no tienen sentimientos de culpa. Tal vez Hitler no tuviera ninguno, ni Himmler, ni Stalin. Tal vez los jefes de la mafia tampoco tengan sentimientos de culpa, o tal vez sus restos estén bien escondidos en el sótano. Incluso sentimientos de culpa abortados...Todos los hombres necesitan sentimientos de culpa.

• Can Ken Starr ignore the apparent breadth of the sympathetic response to the President's speech? Facially, it finally dawned on me that the person Ken Starr has reminded me of facially all this time was Heinrich Himmler, including the glasses. If he now pursues the President of the United States, who, however flawed his apology was, came out and invoked God, family, his daughter, a political conspiracy and everything but the kitchen sink, would not there be some sort of comparison to a persecutor as opposed to a prosecutor for Mr. Starr?

• Tal vez no se pueda, es más, no se deba, comprender lo que ocurrió, porque comprender [el Holocausto] es casi justificar... ningún ser humano normal podrá jamás identificarse con Hitler, Himmler, Goebbels, Eichmann y un sinfín de otros. Esto nos consterna, y al mismo tiempo nos da una sensación de alivio, porque tal vez sea deseable que sus palabras (y también, por desgracia, sus actos) no puedan ser comprensibles para nosotros. Son palabras y hechos no humanos, realmente contrahumanos.
