“Ясно было одно: мы будем возвращены в лагерную зону, опять войдем в ворота с обязательной, официальной, казенной надписью: «Труд есть дело чести, дело славы, дело доблести и геройства».

“The Jews “desired” to emigrate, and he, Eichmann, was there to help them, because it so happened that at the same time the Nazi authorities had expressed a desire to see their Reich judenrein. The two desires coincided, and he, Eichmann, could “do justice to both parties.”
