Download At the Mind's Limits: Contemplations by a Survivor on Auschwitz and Its Realities AudioBook Free
Whoever has succumbed to torture can't feel at home on earth. The shame of destruction can't be erased. Trust in the world, which already collapsed partly at the first blow, however in the end, under torture, totally, will not be regained. That one's fellow man was experienced as the anti-man remains in the tortured person as gathered horror. It prevents the view into a world in which the principle of trust rules. One who was martyred is a defenseless prisoner of dread.
