I have never felt able to describe my emotional reactions when I first came face to face with indisputable evidence of Nazi brutality and ruthless disregard of every shred of decency...
I made the visit deliberately, in order to be in a position to give first-hand evidence of things if ever, in the future, there develops a tendency to charge these allegations merely to 'propaganda.'

I believe in the sun, even when it does not shine,
I believe in love, even when it is not shown.
I believe in God, even when he does not speak.
