“My grandparents never spoke about the Holocaust except just one time, when I was twelve-years-old interviewing them for my school's family tree project. Their painful stories, among those of many others, made me realize that people, under certain circumstances, are capable of turning into inhumane monsters.

It is my duty to pass the flame of awareness and education so it will never happen again!”
 – Miri Ben-Ari, The Hip Hop Violinist

“If we don't teach about history we are likely to repeat it. Any anti-Semitism is a mark of evil in the world.”
 – Jon Voight

“It's very important for young kids to know about history; they have to be attuned to how our generations have suffered. Their understanding of the past can help build the future.”
 – Wyclef
