"The whole reason that we have this interview is to let future generations know what kind of life of we had so they should have a better life, not have to suffer through all the traumas we had to suffer. As time goes on the memory of those days and the importance of it will dim, and this programme will help keep it in people's minds and hopefully let future generations have a better life. It should be a better world."
- Arnold Weinberg, AJR Refugee Voices Testimony Archive.
"The distribution of life chances in this world is often a very random bus"
