René de Chambrun: self, International Lawyer

Quotes 

• Interviewer : Of the non-naturalized Jews, the foreign Jews and denaturalized Jews, only 5% survived, the same average as in the other countries. So I am asking you if a statesman has the right, even if he is a Frenchman and a great patriot, to make such decisions concerning other human beings?

  Self - International Lawyer : It was a tragic and dramatic situation, in which one had to make the choice which would save the most human lives possible.
