Yom HaShoah 5781 (2021)
It has been said that during the 1930s and 1940s persecuted Jews had great difficulty passing for non-Jews, regardless of their features or their manner of dress; it was the look of sadness in their eyes that made them recognizable even to someone standing far away. If we should find ourselves unable, when the moment comes, to meet the stranger's gaze -- and to be moved by it -- then woe to him who is lost, who has wandered far from his people. -- Tzvetan Todorov
