‘Today Europe is behaving like

a holiday-maker out for a pleasant
stroll, carelessly enjoying the merry-

go-round next to the ghetto walls,
behind which people are dying in
flames. Indifference and crime bear

the same name. That is why today we
have to remember the merry-go-round
at the burning ghetto [wall], the flames

of the ghetto and its defenders, who
after so many years might perhaps
force the world to turn its attention to

genocide. May this warning manage to
save us from the defeat of civilization,

humanity and progress. May the
humans not destroy their species.
May murder not become glory’.

Edelman
