I declare myself an Austrian and a European. A united Europe will be a peaceful Europe. |
I pledge to respect and protect the constitution and the law of my country and to carry out my duties to the best of my ability. |
It is important that we speak with one voice on this issue in the European Union, uphold our common values but also make an effort toward de-escalation. |
The following generation and the one thereafter are asking questions that were never asked before - sharp questions, ... The work has not been completed. |
The name of Simon Wiesenthal . . . will live on. |
The name of Simon Wiesenthal ... will live on, |
The name of Simon Wiesenthal ... will live on. |
Think there is nothing we can do to change the past, so we have to look at the present to make sure that the past will never repeat itself again. |
We have all examined our past critically and are very much aware of even the unpleasant things. Now, we need to look at what we plan to do with the lessons we have learned from the past. |
You are very, very welcome here, ... Every visit of this kind has a deep connection with Austrian history. |
