The Bleeding Sky Quotes

“Toward the evening the sky took on the same color as the fires. Everything took on that color, the sky, the buildings, even the ground. Just before the sunset the red in the sky would deepen to the color of blood. I imagined the sky bleeding. I imagined the heavens suffering with us. To this day a red sunset reminds me of the bleeding sky of Auschwitz.”
― Louis Brandsdorfer, The Bleeding Sky: My Mother's Journey Through the Fire

“In Auschwitz I would often dream about my home. It's interesting that in that hell many of my dreams were quite pleasant. I would tell everyone that I lived for those dreams. The time I was awake was the real nightmare.”
― Louis Brandsdorfer, The Bleeding Sky: My Mother's Journey Through the Fire
