"Injustice anywhere is
a threat
to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a
single garment
of destiny." - Martin Luther King Jr., Letter from a Birmingham Jail, April 16, 1963

“For the dead and the living, we must bear witness...” Elie Weisel
It happened, therefore it can happen again: this is the core of what
we have to say. It can happen, and it can happen everywhere. - Primo
Levi, 1986 The Drowned and the Saved
