Best 5 quotes of Marceline Loridan-ivens on MyQuotes

If you only knew, all of you, how the camp remains in all our minds, and will until we die.

...our family became a place where you screamed for help but no one heard, not ever.

Surviving makes other people’s tears unbearable. You might drown in them.

To everyone in the foyer reading the lists, or on the sidewalks waving signs and photos of their families who’d disappeared, I said over and over again: “Everyone is dead.” If they insisted, showing me family photos, I’d calmly say: “Were there any children? Not a single child will come back.” I didn’t mince my words, I didn’t try to spare their feelings, I was used to death. I’d become as hard-hearted as the deportees who saw us arrive at Birkenau without saying a single comforting word. Surviving makes other people’s tears unbearable. You might drown in them.
