“The problem with bearing fanatical witness to this kind of human depravity is that ambiguity and contradiction easily overwhelm the nuance required for understanding. There seems to me that no logic applies to our time of terror, as if it were a dream. There was no lapse of incoherence; none of it was incomprehensible; our shared pain was not sensible then and unexplainable afterwards. It was actually all too real all the time, and we were simply trying to navigate an uncertain passage through it in search of safety.”
