8. SOUNDBITE (English) Berl Lazar, Chief Rabbi of the Federation of Jewish Communities of Russia:
"The threat of the Holocaust is ever-existing. And I would say that when people do not understand that the threat is a real threat, that''s when they don''t act accordingly, and that''s when the right measures are not taken, and that''s when we see young generations growing up with xenophobia, nationalistic ideas, which become part of their ideology. And they''re actually very dangerous."
