THERE ARE TIMES WHEN SILENCE IS WORTH ALL THE WORDS IN THE WORLD. A DEAFENING SILENCE THAT ONLY THE VICTIMS OF BLIND BARBARISM CAN HEAR. BUT IN A WORLD THAT MOVES AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT, THIS PRIVILEGED MOMENT FOR SORROW IS ONLY A PARENTHESIS MAKING WAY FOR QUESTION MARKS, IF NOT A FINAL POINT, INDICATING THAT THE TRUCE CANNOT LAST MORE THAN A FEW HOURS. HUMANITY WAS STRUCK IN ITS BOSOM YESTERDAY AND BLOOD HAS BEEN FLOWING AS IT HAS BEEN FLOWING FOR CENTURIES. BUT YESTERDAY, IT WAS AT THE DAWN OF A NEW MILLENNIUM THAT IT WAS SINKING AGAIN. GERMANY IS BRUISED TODAY, AS THE WORLD IS AND SHOULD BE. IT WAS AT THE HEART OF EUROPE THAT DEMOCRACY WAS ASSASSINATED. TODAY, THE DIKES THAT SEPARATED US FROM THE MURDEROUS MADNESS OF MEN HAVE GIVEN WAY AND ARE ABOUT TO BRING INTO A TORRENT OF MUD THE DREAMS OF SEVERAL GENERATIONS. BUT EVEN MORE THAN THAT, THE INNOCENCE OF A GENERATION THAT REPRESENTS THE FUTURE: A FUTURE WHICH FOR THE MOMENT DEPENDS ON THOSE WHO MUST STAND UP AGAINST RACISM AND ALL FORMS OF DISCRIMINATION, SO THAT THIS SAME GENERATION CAN LIVE TOMORROW IN PEACE.
