Brglez said that the Holocaust introduced notions into our collective lexicon that should have never existed in the first place. He also drew parallels between the plight of Jewish refugees during WWII and that of today's refugees.

Brglez noted that the 1951 Refugee Convention is as relevant today as ever: "Those who drew up this treaty knew that the most vulnerable groups of people would one day need it." He added that our inalienable rights are enshrined in international conventions and in the Slovenian Constitution, stressing that the aim of these inalienable rights is to protect people from such horrors as the Holocaust.
