“At the time I went along with the story they gave us, which was that they’d found his van broken down and they’d seen him hitchhiking off. They asked me if I knew where he might be heading. So, at the time I took it a bit lightly – I wish I hadn’t.”

By comparison, Jews represent only about two per cent of the population of the United States today. Never, since the fall of Judah to Babylon in the sixth century BC until the twentieth century had Jews comprised so large a part of any body politic.”

“Był to przyjazny rudy policjant z jej dzielnicy. Ten, z którym dawniej rozmawiała matka. Który zawsze puszczał do niej oko, kiedy szła do szkoły. Do którego pomachała w dniu aresztowań, a on odwrócił wzrok. Teraz był zbyt blisko, aby spojrzeć w inną stronę. Patrzyła mu w oczy, ani razu nie spuszczając wzroku. Miał dziwne żółtawe źrenice, niemal złote. Twarz policjanta poczerwieniała ze wstydu i dziewczynka miała wrażenie, że widzi, jak drży. Nic nie mówiła, patrząc na niego z całą pogardą, na jaką umiała się zdobyć.”

“The world pampers the body with food and material comforts," she said. "They appease the flesh but are enemies of the spirit. Abstinence is a bridle that gives the spirit a chance in the eternal quarrel with the body.”
