About This Quote
"If we bear all this suffering and if there are still Jews left, when it is over, then Jews, instead of being doomed, will be held up as an example.” This quote is a reference to the Holocaust. In World War II, the Nazis were determined to wipe out all of Europe's Jews. They killed approximately six million Jews during the Holocaust. If they succeeded, then that would mean that they did not have a Jewish future.
This quote refers to the "good" of the Jews after the Holocaust. The Nazis did not succeed in their plan for total extermination. Instead of being doomed to be part of a group who always feels persecuted, Jews would be held up as an example for other groups who experience discrimination and prejudice.
