“My faceless neighbor spoke up:
“Don’t be deluded. Hitler has made it clear that he will annihilate all Jews before the clock strikes twelve.”
I exploded:
“What do you care what he said? Would you want us to consider him a prophet?

“I have more faith in Hitler than in anyone else. He alone has kept his promises, all his promises, to the Jewish people.”
