"Yes, I demand and desire freedom. I admit that I fight for my freedom and the freedom of all. For that, I do not need the power to confine or exclude life. For that, I definitely do not have to pass judgment on other people. The prosecutor’s office will gladly do that. Freedom is something else for me. It blossoms in the belief that together we can create something more just than prisons, camps, and deportation centers, that we can create something more peaceful than handcuffs, weapons, and whole divisions of tanks. For me, it means looking for what can be left for those who come after us, preserving the freedom that has already been attained, and giving rise to a new venture out of any doubt. And I speak from a place of hope because there are so many people who do not adhere to contempt, who feel neither the right nor the obligation to do so."
