That which has happened is a warning

That which has happened is a warning. To forget it is guilt. It must be continually remembered. It was possible for this to happen, and it remains possible for it to happen again at any minute. Only in knowledge can it be prevented.

—Karl Jaspers, cited in Ian Kershaw, The Nazi Dictatorship, (London: Bloomsbury, 2015), 21.
