I think of the seventy-two-year-old Jew forced to climb to the top of that fireman’s ladder. No foreign correspondent was present. And if one had been, he wouldn’t have reported it. And even if he had spoken up, they would have all forgotten about it.

Truthfully! Compared to the indifference of the world, the cruelties of the non-world are but a pinprick.

The most abominable ‘atrocity story’ which our great grandchildren will still recount is the transformation through stupor of a world into a non-world; as if absurdly it wished to plead the case that it wasn’t born in the word of God, but through a printing error of Satan.
