“So long as the prisoners could believe in the greater good, they were not defeated. Witold's men perished in many terrible ways, but they did so with a dignity that Nazism failed to destroy.”
Jack Fairweather, The Volunteer: The True Story of the Resistance Hero who Infiltrated Auschwitz

“The camp had a way of stripping away pretensions to reveal a man’s true personality. “Some—slithered into a moral swamp,” Witold wrote later. “Others—chiseled themselves a character of finest crystal.”
Jack Fairweather, The Volunteer

“The camp [Auschwitz] had already developed nicknames for those on the edge of starvation: cripples, derelicts, jewels, but the most common was "Musselmänner," or "Muslims," seemingly in reference to how they rocked back and forth in their weakness as if in prayer.”
Jack Fairweather, The Volunteer: The True Story of the Resistance Hero who Infiltrated Auschwitz
