Distinguished senators, deputies, diplomats, professors, and teachers: Where did the Holocaust originate? In the mind of Hitler and his collaborators. It is in the mind where ideas emerge that produce great inventions and scientific and technological developments; but it is also there, in the human mind, where genocidal acts have originated, which can be avoided through an education centered on respect for human dignity, and constitutional values and principles. 

We must always bear in mind that the victims of the Nazi regime during World War II were not only 6 million Jews, other groups were also persecuted and killed, including Jehovah's Witnesses, homosexuals, political opponents, the Romani (Gypsies), and the disabled. Therefore, this was not a crime against one people; this was a crime against the human family.

Genocide was the greatest defeat of global education in universities and schools, the product of political irrationality and insensitivity.
