Labor Camps Quotes By Franklin D. Roosevelt

We have our difficulties, true; but we are a wiser and a tougher nation than we were in 1932. Never have there been six years of such far flung internal preparedness in all of history. And this has been done without any dictator's power to command, without conscription of labor or confiscation of capital, without concentration camps and without a scratch on freedom of speech, freedom of the press or the rest of the Bill of Rights. — Franklin D. Roosevelt

Labor Camps Quotes By Pearl Fichman

The call-ups to labor camps was the work of the Jewish Community Council. The military would request a certain number of men, to be sent to a certain location. Within a few days the Jewish Council provided the number of men. As soon as a group returned, some weeks later they would be sent again. It was hard labor, but people were not killed there. Rumors spread that everybody would be deported within the next few weeks. The chances of survival were uncertain from day to day. — Pearl Fichman

Labor Camps Quotes By Kurt Vonnegut Jr.

Its basic axiom is to be followed by individuals as well as great nations, by Losers and Winners alike. We have demonstrated the workability of the axiom in Vietnam, in Bangladesh, in Biafra, in Palestinian refugee camps, in our own ghettos, in our migrant labor camps, on our Indian reservations, in our institutions for the defective and the deformed and the aged. This is it: Ignore agony. — Kurt Vonnegut Jr.

Labor Camps Quotes By Constantin Stanislavski

Remember: there are no small parts, only small actors. — Constantin Stanislavski

Labor Camps Quotes By Hannah Arendt

There are no parallels to the life of the concentration camps. All seeming parallels create confusion and distract attention from what is essential. Forced labor in prisons and penal colonies, banishment, slavery, all seem for a moment to offer helpful comparisons, but on closer examination lead nowhere. — Hannah Arendt

Labor Camps Quotes By Steve Forbes

No more turning a blind eye to Chinese spies in our nuclear labs. No more keeping silent about Chinese slave labor camps. — Steve Forbes

Labor Camps Quotes By Edward Ball

There was a uniqueness to the American case of slavery. 10 million people, a conservative estimate, were brought to America ... hundreds of people were set up in work camps, and hereditary-forced labor was put in place. That's a very different thing than the personal slavery that existed elsewhere. — Edward Ball

Labor Camps Quotes By Fredrik Bajer

There are those who believe we have need of more literature, of a large international publishing house, of a great peace newspaper, or the like. I am rather skeptical about this idea. — Fredrik Bajer

Labor Camps Quotes By Flannery O'Connor

If other ages felt less, they saw more, even though they saw with the blind, prophetical, unsentimental eye of acceptance, which is to say, of faith. In the absence of this faith now, we govern by tenderness. It is a tenderness which, long cut off from the person of Christ, is wrapped in theory. When tenderness is detached from the source of tenderness, its logical outcome is terror. It ends in forced-labor camps and in the fumes of the gas chamber. — Flannery O'Connor

Labor Camps Quotes By Kurt Braunohler

People have said that to me: They say I have a TV face. — Kurt Braunohler

Labor Camps Quotes By Edith Hahn Beer

You must understand that at that time, the concentration camps were prisons where opponents of the Nazi regime were detained. Von Schuschnigg was in a concentration camp; so was Bruno Bettelheim for a time. The inmates were made to work at hard labor and lived in dreadful conditions, but they often came back from these places. Not until the 1940s did the words "concentration camp" come to stand for monstrous cruelty and almost certain death. Nobody even imagined there would one day be a death camp like Auschwitz. — Edith Hahn Beer

Labor Camps Quotes By Eric Hoffer

The pre-human creature from which man evolved was unlike any other living thing in its malicious viciousness toward its own kind. Humanization was not a leap forward but a groping toward survival. — Eric Hoffer

Labor Camps Quotes By Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Shukhov gazed at the ceiling in silence. Now he didn't know whether he wanted freedom or not. At first he'd longed for it. Every night he'd counted the days of his stretch - how many had passed, how many were coming. And then he'd grown bored with counting. And then it became clear that men like him wouldn't ever be allowed to return home, that they'd be exiled. — Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Labor Camps Quotes By Megan Hilty

I always wanted to make an album, but I knew that I didn't want it to be a musical theater album. It's not that I don't love them - I own every musical theater album ever made - but it just didn't seem right for me. — Megan Hilty

Labor Camps Quotes By Adam Johnson

Are there labor camps here?" he asked.
"No," she said.
"Mandatory marriages, forced-criticism sessions, loudspeaker?"
She shook her head.
"Then I'm not sure I could ever feel free here," he said. — Adam Johnson

Labor Camps Quotes By Mary Harris Jones

Sometimes it seemed to me I could not look at those silent little figures; that I must go north, to the grim coal fields, to the Rocky Mountain camps, where the labor fight is at least fought by grown men. — Mary Harris Jones

Labor Camps Quotes By Dorothy Day

Marx ... Lenin ... Mao Tse-Tung ... These men were animated by the love of brother and this we must believe though their ends meant the seizure of power, and the building of mighty armies, the compulsion of concentration camps, the forced labor and torture and killing of tens of thousands, even millions. — Dorothy Day

Labor Camps Quotes By Maeve Greyson

He feared her hatred more than any sword. — Maeve Greyson

Labor Camps Quotes By Ahmir Questlove Thompson

Less than 3 percent of those Jews survived. — Michael S. Neiberg

Labor Camps Quotes By Marie Lu

I'll tell you why it matters," she hisses. "It matters because if you hadn't escaped,my brother would be alive right now.And I want to make sure no other filthy street con assigned to the labor camps escapes the system-so that this scenario won't play out ever again."
I laugh in her face.The pain in my leg only fuels my anger. "Oh,is that all you're worried about? A bunch of renegade Trial takers who managed to escape their deaths? Those ten-year-olds are a dangerous bunch,yeah? — Marie Lu

Labor Camps Quotes By W. Cleon Skousen

Communist leaders ask humanity to endure the conflagration of revolutionary violence, the suppression and liquidation of resistance groups, the expropriation of property, the Dictatorship of the Proletariat which they themselves describe as "based on force and unrestricted by any laws," the suspension of all civil liberties - suppression of free press, free speech and assembly, the existence of slave labor camps, the constant observation of all citizens by secret police, the long periods of service — W. Cleon Skousen

Labor Camps Quotes By George Meyer

I'm enthralled by the national yearning that the Russians had during the 50s and 60s. The whole century was pretty rough for them. They suffered genocide, war, poverty, and half the population was sent to labor camps. But they were determined to get into space first. — George Meyer

Labor Camps Quotes By Ben Harper

The Blind Boys are truly the deepest well of American musical heritage you can discover. — Ben Harper

Labor Camps Quotes By Anonymous

Some have argued that the current era of rapid technological progress serves labor, and some have argued that it serves capital. What both camps have slighted is the fact that technology is not only integrating existing sources of labor and capital but also creating new ones. — Anonymous

Labor Camps Quotes By Philip K. Dick

Bright specks that were commute ships, little eggs that carried businessmen and white-collar workers around. The huge transport tubes that shot masses of workmen to factories and labor camps from their housing units. — Philip K. Dick

Labor Camps Quotes By Sarah J. Maas

You knew about the labor camps, though. About the massacres."
"It is easy to be lied to when you don't know any of those people firsthand. It's easy to believe when your king tells you that the people in Endovier deserve to be there because they're criminals or rebels who tried to slaughter innocent Adarlanian families."
"And how many of your countrymen would stand against your king if they, too, learned the truth? If they stopped to consider what it would be like if it were their family, their village, being enslaved or murdered? — Sarah J. Maas

At least two hundred thousand North Koreans, or nearly one percent of the entire population, called these labor camps home. — David Baldacci
