Quotes from her Life and Lectures:
"One man can make a difference. "
“No matter what the experience was of being in the situation of the occupation by the Germans and everything that it brought along, it did not take away from my love of life. As a matter of fact, all that just inspired me to go on and be what I think I want to be, and live a good life, and share it.”
“At the core of your being, that you can enjoy life as much as humanly possible, and to make it enjoyable, and to share that joy."
“Everyone should appreciate to be born into freedom and know that freedom is a very important factor in life. Freedom of speech, freedom of religion, of profession, and in this country that's all possible”
"Timing is Everything"
"Don't take anything for granted"
“Ignorance is not blissful”
And her message to school children on the Holocaust-
“Watch out, no matter who, no matter what, nothing prevents it from happening again, unless you appreciate what you’ve got, unless you appreciate life, and unless, when you see warning signs, you fight against it.” But nobody is immune today, yesterday it happened to us, tomorrow it can happen to you."
" Life is very precious, every one should appreciate life as it as, and everybody inside of them should have the survivor syndrome. If you survive one thing, you have to survive another thing. I lived under Nazism and I survived, under communism, and I survived. You have to survive one day to another. Weather it sickness, troubles, whatever it is, you have to go on because life is precious"
"One man can make a difference. Everybody can be a hero, you don't need to be Raul Wallenberg, anyone that helps a thirsty person to get water can be a hero in his own way"
