I continue to be surprised by how educated the excerpts from backwater frontier newspapers sound.

Buergenthal: Never once during our interrogations did I hear expressions of remorse or admissions of guilt; mistakes yes, guilt no. How to explain the intentional act of the killing of an innocent being can be written off as merely a "mistake"?

Buergenthal: B-2930 has survived the Ghetto of Kielce, Auschwitz, Sachsenhausen, and Germany!

Buergenthal: Of course, even less do [these events] answer the question of why, in the midst of all these terrible events, some people find the strength and moral courage to oppose or, at the very least, not commit these monstrous crimes that others perpetrate with ease.

Buergenthal: What is it in the human character that gives some individuals the moral strength not to sacrifice their decency and dignity, regardless of the costs to themselves, whereas others become murderously ruthless in the hope of ensuring their own survival?
