« In my “work of remembrance” I put all my effort, as we all should, into young people. To show them the horrors they could be lead to, as many of their forebears were. To show what happens when there is inaction in the face of injustice, exclusion and barbarity. In this ‘“work of remembrance” we must also remind young people that the executioners were ordinary people, just like any of us. So, we must be vigilant as to how we respond to others, so we do not in turn become their executioners. »

Sam Braun’s deportation to Auschwitz in 1943

"One beautiful morning we left, we were on a list. We left in a RATP bus … In the cattle truck, about one hundred of us had been packed in … People died, quite a lot of people died, and thanks to them we could sit down."
