My faceless neighbor spoke up:
"Don't be deluded. Hitler has made it clear that he will annihilate all Jews before the clock strikes twelve."
I exploded:
"What do you care what he said? Would you want us to consider him a prophet?
His cold eyes stared at me. At last he said, wearily:
" I have more faith in Hitler than in anyone else. He alone has kept his promises, all his promises, to the Jewish people. "

    The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference. The opposite of art is not ugliness, it's indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference. And the opposite of life is not death, it's indifference.

      Never shall I forget that night, the first night in camp, that turned my life into one long night seven times sealed.
      Never shall I forget that smoke.
      Never shall I forget the small faces of the children whose bodies I saw transformed into smoke under a silent sky.
      Never shall I forget those flames that consumed my faith forever.
      Never shall I forget the nocturnal silence that deprived me for all eternity of the desire to live.
      Never shall I forget those moments that murdered my God and my soul and turned my dreams to ashes.
      Never shall I forget those things, even were I condemned to live as long as God Himself.
      Never.
