  • “The evil of the Holocaust was realized through the exercise of a certain kind of power — coercive power. It was a power that sought to dominate and control. It was a power legitimated through law, buttressed by propaganda, augmented by terror, and affected through all the institutions of society.”

    • Mary Jo Leddy,
    • in Carol Rittner and John K. Roth, eds., Different Voices: Women and the Holocaust ()
