"If I were a Jew and were born in Germany as my home even as the tallest German gentile may... I am convinced that if someone with courage and vision can rise amongst them (the Jews) to lead them in non-violent action, the winter of their despair can be turned into a summer of hope."

Gandhi, in a newspaper article entitled "The Jews", in response to the Kristallnacht pogrom of Nov 10, 1938.
