Page 61 - Centrum Dialogu im. Marka Edelmana. Edelman. The Man

“It sometimes seemed to us that
in spite of all the terror in Warsaw,
there was some normal life on the
other side. For people were walking

the streets, enjoying themselves,
the merry-go-round was working. It
was incomprehensible to us. We felt

forgotten, embittered that the world
didn’t see what was going on with us.
Not only the people on the other side
of the wall, but the entire world. We
knew that the free world was aware

of what had been happening, but
nobody uttered a word, none of the
great governments dared to threaten

Germany with retaliatory measures;
even the greatest moral authorities of
the free world remained silent”.

Edelman
