transcript of the dedication speeches.

"We take this occasion to join other Christians and Jews in truly making our own the words inscribed on the international memorial sculpture at Dachau - Never Again. And we do this by proclaiming to our entire constituency that the Holocaust is a turning point for mankind, an event so cataclysmic that it sears human history into two sharply demarcated ages, and that it is something that happened to Christians as well as to Jews" by Holy Cross President Emeritus Rev. J. E. Brooks, S.J. | May 11, 1979
