"There are just a few hundred of them now, in the cold and the snow of Auschwitz: the survivors of the survivors, the last sentinels. They are still there, still standing to tell of what was the absolute evil, indeed the quintessence of evil. Upon them is the gaze of the world and of the inhabitants of this century, 60 years after the Holocaust. My heart and spirit are in Auschwitz today, with them and all the others, those who did not return. As this era, that of the last witnesses, draws to an end, it is our absolute duty to consider how this memory is to be passed on without them. We owe them truth. To them first of all, but also to our children and to future generations, because those who would insensitively deny the Holocaust or, worse, attempt to trivialise it, have not waited for the survivors to disappear before trying to demean this most singular of memories. What we are requesting, and what we are fighting for, is to have the Holocaust taught in our schools, with knowledge serving as a barrier against racism.
Auschwitz was at the heart of Europe 60 years ago. That past must not disappear from sight, ever."@en1
