Description
This chapter focuses on four familiar slogans in public discourse around the Holocaust:
1. About bystanders - 'all it takes for evil to triumph is for good men to stand around and do nothing'
2. 'Power of one' - refers to individuals
3. 'Triumph of the human spirit'
4. Political lessons of the Holocaust - 'never again'
