Earlier this week, I wrote a blog post featuring quotes from Holocaust survivors. Among them, I came across a powerful statement by Simon Wiesenthal: “For your benefit, learn from our tragedy.

Many German and Austrian Jews saw themselves as German or Austrian first, and they considered themselves to be part of society. Why would they leave their homes and their […]

I had planned to write a blog on Menegele’s experiments on children, especially on twins, but as before, I couldn’t. I had to stop; the children’s eyes haunted me. Joseph Mengele, often referred to as the “Angel of Death,” is one of the most infamous figures associated with the Holocaust due to his brutal medical […]

“We do not believe any group of men adequate enough or wise enough to operate without scrutiny or without criticism. We know that the only way to avoid error is to detect it, that the only way to detect it is to be free to inquire. We know that in secrecy error undetected will flourish and subvert”. - J Robert Oppenheimer.
