"I began to wonder about the ethical distinction between processing pigs
and doing the same thing to people defined as pigs. Many would argue that
moral considerations do not have to be extended to animals, but this is just
what the Nazis said about the Jews."
- from Eternal Treblinka (p. 49)
"I saw the whole globe symbolized at Auschwitz, and it was covered with
blood: people being manipulated and used; animals being tortured in useless
experiments; men hunting helpless, vulnerable creatures for the "thrill";
human beings ground down by inadequate housing and medical care and by not
having enough to eat; men abusing women and children; people polluting the
earth, filling it with poisons that foul the air, the soil, and the water;
the imprisonment of dissident voices; the elimination of people of opposing
political views; the oppression of those who look, feel, or act
differently."
- from Eternal Treblinka (p. 50)
