About This Quote

Humanity was an ugly word when such cruelty was inflicted on one another. It was only after the horrors of World War II, did humanity become a beautiful word. Not only was it a beautiful word, but it gave the world the chance to rise above the hatred that had been visited upon its people. From Babylon to Auschwitz, humanity had never been so cruel. The world came together under United Nations to ensure that nothing like that would ever happen again.
