“ How can one here
today not be concerned with the assault that
is being waged on Jewish memory? Some people
deny that it occurred, others turn it around
and say that we were guilty. Others still, in
their viciousness, use a vocabulary that we
use with regard to the killer, but they use
it against Israel. ...How can there not be concern
about anti-Semitism? We were convinced that
anti Semitism perished here. Anti-Semitism did
not perish. Its victims did.” —Elie
Wiesel at the “March Ceremony
