Bergier Commission - Focus

Focus

In the course of its work, the commission identified three areas where the government failed to carry out its responsibilities:

  1. that of the Swiss government and its cantons' policy with respect to the refugees.
  2. that which regards the concessions which the Federal state and a part of the private economy made to the Axis powers.
  3. that which concerns the issue of restitution of assets once the war had ended.

Famous quotes containing the word focus:

    “If we focus mostly on how we might have been partly or wholly to blame for what might have been less than a perfect, problem- free childhood, our guilt will overwhelm their pain. It becomes a story about us, not them. . . . When we listen, accept, and acknowledge, we feel regret instead, which is simply guilt without neurosis.”
    —Jane Adams (20th century)

    “Why is it so difficult—so degradingly difficult—to bring the notion of Time into mental focus and keep it there for inspection? What an effort, what fumbling, what irritating fatigue!”
    —Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

    “When Western people train the mind, the focus is generally on the left hemisphere of the cortex, which is the portion of the brain that is concerned with words and numbers. We enhance the logical, bounded, linear functions of the mind. In the East, exercises of this sort are for the purpose of getting in tune with the unconscious—to get rid of boundaries, not to create them.”
    —Edward T. Hall (b. 1914)
