Quote by Robert Savosnick

“SS-mannen spurte meg hvor jeg kom fra. Jeg fortalte at jeg kom fra Norge. Han ville vite hvorfor jeg var blitt arrestert og hadde havnet i Auschwitz. Jeg svarte at det var fordi jeg var jøde. Kun derfor. Men han ville ikke tro meg.”

“Musel jsem se dívat na průzory do plynových komor a sám sledovat proces smrti... Znovu a znovu se mě ptali, jak se já a moji lidé na tyto operace můžeme nepřetržitě dívat a jak jsme schopni to vydržet. Má stálá odpověď zněla, že je to otázka železného odhodlání, s jakým musíme plnit Hitlerovy rozkazy, a takové odhodlání že lze získat pouze potlačením všech lidských citů.”

“... e in quell'aria dall'odore acre, da lontano, riconobbi senza alcun dubbio il profumo della zuppa di rape. È stato un peccato, perché quella vista, quel profumo hanno scatenato nel mio petto ormai già sordo un sentimento il cui impeto è riuscito a spillare ai miei occhi aridi un paio di gocce che hanno scaldato la mia faccia fredda e bagnata. E qualunque sforzo di valutare e ragionare, di ricorrere al buonsenso e alla lucidità mentale non sono serviti – dentro di me non ho potuto evitare di sentire la voce furtiva, in un certo senso vergognosa della sua stessa insensatezza, che tuttavia diventava sempre più ostinata, la voce di un desiderio sommesso quanto ardente: poter vivere ancora un pochino in quel bel campo di concentramento.”

“Propaganda may be defined as opposed to rational argument; argument based upon facts. Argument based on facts aims at producing an intellectual conviction; propaganda aims, above all, at producing reflex action. It is aimed at bypassing the rational choice based upon knowledge of facts and getting directly at the solar plexus, so to speak, and affecting the subconscious.”

“Aprendi muito, em muitas questões. Aprendi, mais do que tudo, que é preciso uma política que seja clara. O socialismo quer dizer combater a exploração e combater o capitalismo como forma de desigualdade social. Mas quer dizer também recusar os regimes de partido único ou de censura, ou de ataque à liberdade de opinião.”
