• Now that they talk about Islam as being a violent faith, when you look at the history of Christendom, the Crusades and the many wars of religion that were fought, the cruelty of Christians in burning what they believed to be witches and burning heretics, and then very recently they were responsible for the Holocaust... it was Christians.

• Por mucho que el mundo tenga instinto para el mal y sea un caldo de cultivo para el genocidio, el holocausto, la esclavitud, el racismo, la guerra, la opresión y la injusticia, el mundo tiene un instinto aún más grande para la bondad, el renacimiento, la misericordia, la belleza, la verdad, la libertad y el amor.

• One group of scholars or persons, most of them politically motivated, say the Holocaust occurred. Then there is the group of scholars who represent the opposite position and have therefore been imprisoned for the most part. Hence, an impartial group has to come together to investigate and to render an opinion on this very important subject, because the clarification of this issue will contribute to the solution of global problems.

• When you treat reprehensible and ludicrous arguments with respect you have elevated the reprehensible and made the ludicrous a bit more reasonable. Having a serious argument with a Nazi makes the horror of the Holocaust a debatable point. Don't wrestle in the mud with pigs. You get dirty and the pig likes it.

• The collective psychology is something very close to being sacred - we can do it but we don't do it. We should understand that the Holocaust in the European conscience is reaching a point which is very close to what is sacred for people in the Southern countries, whether they are Muslims or not. Because of that we need to try to have intellectual empathy.

• One reason that I embarked on a study of Nazi doctors was that in this personal journey, I had the feeling increasingly that I did want to do a Holocaust study and that increasingly I wanted it to be of perpetrators, which I thought was more needed.

• Es terapia. [La gente dice que la verdadera curación requiere una confrontación honesta, y eso se puede ver a gran escala con Estados Unidos y las cosas que se han barrido bajo la alfombra, ya sea con los nativos americanos o la esclavitud, o cualquier holocausto que haya ocurrido en este suelo.

• What was lost in the European cataclysm was not only the Jewish past--the whole life of a civilization--but also a major share ofthe Jewish future.... [ellipsis in source] It was not only the intellect of a people in its prime that was excised, but the treasure of a people in its potential.

• Let's put it this way. I question whether 6 million Jews actually died in Nazi death camps. There are two major sources for Holocaust stories. One is the Nuremburg war-crimes trial, which has been shown by all honest historians to be a farce of justice. Another source is the great body of literature and media work, and at least 90% of that material is from biased Jewish sources.

• La fuente de la mayor parte de la violencia y el sufrimiento humanos ha sido un holocausto infantil oculto a lo largo de la historia, por el que miles de millones de seres humanos inocentes han sido asesinados, atados, hambrientos, violados, mutilados, maltratados y torturados de forma rutinaria por sus padres y otros cuidadores, para que crecieran como adultos emocionalmente lisiados y se convirtieran en bombas de relojería vengativas que periódicamente volvían a escenificar sus traumas tempranos en ritos sacrificiales llamados guerras.

• The pornography of violence of course far exceeds, in volume and general acceptance, sexual pornography, in this Puritan land of ours. Exploiting the apocalypse, selling the holocaust, is a pornography. For the ultimate selling job on ultimate violence one must read those works of fiction issued by our government as manuals of civil defense, in which you learn that there's nothing to be afraid of if you've stockpiled lots of dried fruit.

• If only women are talking about women's rights, then the issue has failed from the start. If you think about the Holocaust, that wasn't just a Jewish issue. Civil rights weren't just a black issue.
