"From the depths of the mirror, a corpse was contemplating me"
"Listen to me kid, don't forget that you are in a concentration camp. In this place, it is every man for himsel and you cannot think of others"
"Something rebelled in me against that death"
"I had no right to let myself die"
"It's over, God is no longer with us"
"I was the acuser, God the accused"
"Blessed be God's name? Why, but why would I bless him? Every fiber in me rebelled"
"Hell does not last forever"
"Remember it always, let it be graven in your memories. You are in Auschwitz"
"My soul had been devoured by a black flame"
"...in one terrifying moment of lucidity"
"The used whatever strength they had left to cry"
"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 life"
"Every question possessed a power that was lost in the answer"
"Man comes closer to God through the questions he asks him, but we don't understand his replies"
"The beloved objects we had carried with us from place to place were now left behind in the wagon and with them, finally, our illusions"
"...nothing would be left in the sky but extinct stars and unseeing eyes"
