About this Quote
The quote by Alexander Dubcek is referring to a dark duration in Slovakia's background. During the springtime as well as summer season of 1942, the country experienced a period of severe fear and violence. This resulted from the mass deportation of Slovak Jews to extermination camps in Poland. This was a damaging time for the Jewish community in Slovakia, as hundreds of innocent people were removed from their homes and also family members as well as sent to their deaths. The fear and physical violence of this duration was a stark reminder of the horrors of the Holocaust and also the disastrous effects it carried the Jewish populace in Slovakia. It is a suggestion of the relevance of withstanding disgust and bias, and also of the requirement to keep in mind and also honour those that endured as well as died throughout this duration.
