Nobody moves. The tragedy plays out like a film according to the
will of its director. Everything we know from Jewish history about
massacres, exiles, and the inquisition fades in the face of these
events. In that distant past, suffering was illuminated by the glories
of faith in the one and only God the Father. Jew of the Litzmannstadt
Ghetto! Let this be a consolation to you today, on Rosh Hashanah
day of the year 1942! Your ancestors have gathered in the square
of believers in Marysin. No longer will they be filling your head with
the wisdom of the holy books. You are no longer a creation of God
because you are no longer a being in the likeness of God.

Oskar Singer, 16 September 1942
