"And to them will I give in my house and within my walls a memorial and a name (a "yad vashem")... that shall not be cut off."
(Isaiah, chapter 56, verse 5)

“If we wish to live and to bequeath life to our offspring, if we believe that we are to pave the way to the future, then we must first of all not forget.”
(Prof. Ben Zion Dinur, Yad Vashem, 1956)

"It must all be recorded with not a single fact omitted. And when the time comes - as it surely will - let the world read and know what the murderers have done."
(From the "Oneg Shabbat" Archives)
