“I don't think there was any overall Reich policy to kill the Jews. If there was, they would have been killed and there would not be now so many millions of survivors. And believe me, I am glad for every survivor that there was.”

“If they had set out to kill six million Jews they would have done it. But all we hear about is Holocaust survivors. "Oh, we know it happened, cause over there is a survivor. Oh, my mother and father were survivors," they say. This is absolutely ridiculous. And (the Holocaust) it's all - maybe not all fiction - but most of it is. For instance the gas chambers and crematoria at Auschwitz would not do the job. Do you know what it takes to get rid of a dead body? To cremate it? It takes a liter of petrol and 20 minutes - now six million of them? They (the Germans) did not have the gas to do it. That's why they lost the war.”

“If we had killed 10.3 million Jews, then I would have been satisfied and would say, good, we annihilated an enemy. … I wasn't only issued orders, in this case I'd have been a moron, but I rather anticipated, I was an idealist.”

“I have the greatest respect for the survivors of the Holocaust. We can't even imagine what these people went through. And yet even they have differing positions … I respect that there are survivors who can't, and certainly don't want to, listen to this music. But I don't accept that the fact that an orchestra playing Wagner in Tel Aviv or Jerusalem would do any harm to someone sitting in an apartment in Haifa.”

Daniel Barenboim (1942) Israeli Argentine-born pianist and conductor

“I think filmmakers are wrong about this. I think sharing's a good thing. … They said television would kill the movies, it didn't. They said VCRs would kill the movies, it didn't. Now they're saying this is going to kill the movies. It won't.”

Michael Moore (1954) American filmmaker, author, social critic, and liberal activist

On the posting of his film SiCKO on the Internet, prior to its official release, as quoted in &quot;Michael Moore Takes on His Pirates!&quot; by Edward Douglas (19 June 2007) http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=21141 <br class="br">2007 <br class="br">Context: The film that&#x27;s leaked onto the Internet is not taken at a movie theatre with a little home video camera, right? The way it&#x27;s usually done? This is an inside job... Now, if you were a police detective, one of the first questions you&#x27;d ask is motive. Who has a vested interest in destroying the opening weekend&#x27;s box office of this movie? If I were the police or the FBI investigating this felony that&#x27;s taken place, that&#x27;s where I would look.<br>Having said that, I&#x27;m glad that people were able to see my movie. … I&#x27;m not a big believer in our copyright laws. I think they&#x27;re way too restrictive. … I&#x27;ve never supported this concept of going after Napster. I think the rock bands who fought this were wrong. I think filmmakers are wrong about this. I think sharing&#x27;s a good thing. … They said television would kill the movies, it didn&#x27;t. They said VCRs would kill the movies, it didn&#x27;t. Now they&#x27;re saying this is going to kill the movies. It won&#x27;t. People want to get out of the house and go to the movies! Nothing&#x27;s ever going to kill that, and I really hope people will do that on opening weekend.
