“Dire que tout le monde est coupable revient à dire que personne ne l’est. C’est la solution désespérée d’une Allemande qui cherche à tout prix à sauver son pays, à noyer la responsabilité nazie dans une responsabilité plus diffuse, si impersonnelle qu’elle finit par ne plus rien signifier.

― Simone Veil, Une vie
