Marek Edelman quotes:
-
The Bundists did not wait for the Messiah, nor did they plan to leave for Palestine. They believed that Poland was their country and they fought for a just, socialist Poland, in which each nationality would have its own cultural autonomy, and in which minorities' rights would be guaranteed.
-
Man is evil, by nature man is a beast. People have to be educated from childhood, from kindergarten, that there should be no hatred.
-

-
To be a Jew means always being with the oppressed and never the oppressors.
