"We have to look every day through the mirror of truth and justice," said the Cardinal. "We have to be attentive to see if sentiments of hatred are resurfacing for silly and unimportant reasons. When thoughts of evil are in the heart, it is easy to accomplish evil acts, to burn homes," "from Birkenau to Butovo, from Voivodina to Bosnia." In his speech, László Mandur, a representative of the Hungarian Parliament, addressed the Catholic-Jewish Liaison Committee which had chosen Budapest as a host city for its 20th meeting. "Your presence here, and your taking part to the Jewish-Catholic dialogue, is a great help to overcome this deep shame. Your speeches, your strong faith, your teachings based upon Sacred Scripture, as well as human wisdom, are playing a significant role, despite our cultural differences. We must look for the signs of union and interdependence. We must set the example for our brothers," "so that this horror story, which began with the Crystal Night and ended in the annihilation of many innocent people, will never happen again."
