“Romans 1: 18 - 32 18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of Man, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; 19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in Truth; for God hath shown it unto Man. 20 For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godliness; so that Man are without excuse: 21 Because that, when Man knew God, Man relatively glorified his self as God, neither were Man thankful to bein His image; but Man became vain in his philosophies, and Man's foolish heart was shrouded in darkness. 22 Professing themselves to be wise, Man became fools, 23 And changed the glory of the Incorruptible Almighty God into the image like corruptible Man, and to birds, and four-footed beasts, and creeping things. 24 Wherefore God also gave Man up to uncleanness through the agenda of Man's own perceptive heart, to dishonour their own bodies between and amongst themselves: 25 who change the Absolute Truth of God into a relative but absolute lie, and worship and serve the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. 26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections outside of His Love: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their desire one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves the full recompense of their error. 28 And even as Man did not like to remember God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a polluted mind, to do those vile and reprehensible things; 29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, false and hurtful appetites, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, indecisiveness, deceit, malignity; gossip, 30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, braggadocios, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 Without understanding, oath breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: 32 Who knowing the full judgment of God upon them for such behaviour care neither to repent nor recant.”

“A woman, Erika S., who lived at Melk in Austria near the site of one of the subcamps of Mauthhausen, gives a frank account of the way she dealt with this physical proximity. She did sometimes see things, unavoidably. She tells of having felt pity in particular for the plight of one Jew she observed, though a pity, it has to be said, that was mixed with something darker, namely amusement at the incongruous gait---'like a circus horse'---forced upon this man by the pain in his bare feet and the whipping of the guards. Her general attitude, however, Erika S. characterizes as follows: 'I am happy when I hear nothing and see nothing of it. As far as I am concerned, they aren't interned. That's it. Over. It does not interest me at all”

“A crucial question for them, indeed, one challenging their humanity, is the question addressed to the spectator at the scene of evil. How continue life as normal after having seen that? How, if you are not a stone or a pile of dead wood or a cadaver? How, in other terms, without disappearing into the insentient natural cosmos? The victim and survivor of the Holocaust thus puts his question, embodied in literary form, so to say, of a prayer. To be indifferent is to stand condemned.”
