«Things happened on January 27th that left me dismayed. I really don’t think I have to answer, that I have to absolve myself, as a Jew, of what the State of Israel does.” Lor said senator for life Liliana Segre in his speech at the Shoah Memorial where he spoke of his deportation on the 80th anniversary.
«I find it wrong to mix completely different things, as many did who thought of questioning January 27 due to what is happening in Gaza. Evidently they have a frantic need to come to terms with the Shoah, to remove the role of victims par excellence from the Jews, to free themselves from an unconscious guilt complex. This phenomenon also signals an educational failure in the more than 20 years since the law was passed: it seems that someone has mistaken Remembrance Day for a kind of gift given to the Jews, to be revoked if the Jews behave badly. But then we are faced with a cultural catastrophe.” (AGTW)
