Quote by Angel Wagenstein

“Me da vergüenza reconocerlo, pero compartí la adquisición únicamente con el rabino. Lo cortamos todo en trocitos que escondimos en los bolsillos, bajo las esteras y donde pudimos, y los comimos migaja a migaja, con excepción de lo que se llevaron las ratas que abundaban en el campo. A diferencia del mundo de afuera, donde los seres humanos vivían en sociedad y morían en soledad, allí moríamos colectivamente, pero cada uno sobrevivía por su cuenta. Es tremendo reconocer que lo mismo era válido tanto para la gente como para las ratas.”

“I can’t recite the chronology or elaborate on the facts. I can’t explain the reasons or defend how we lived our lives. What I can tell you is how the events of 1933 sowed the seeds that fundamentally changed our future, that there was little hand-wringing or emotion, that circumstances were beyond control, that there was no recourse or appeal. I can tell you that events were incremental, that the unbelievable became the believable and, ultimately, the normal.”
