"The second part ties this chapter with the first one. What surprised me is how different the personality of Petrina and Irimias were in the outside world compared to the office. Here, they are prone to anger, prone to violent threats. Also, finally these people are the people who the villagers were talking about. I also was surprised the disdain they felt towards the villagers." — Oct 28, 2025 12:26PM

A holocaust we have all failed. I completely agree to the writer's point of view that sometimes, the magnitude of the massacre is so great that we lose the human touch and only think of it in terms of numbers. How that very thought robs the tragedy of its justice.

“Then the entire shipment, stark naked, were driven towards the gas chambers which they were told were ‘disinfectant baths’.201 At no point did anyone have a chance to resist. The most they could do was to tear up the miserable crumpled dollars they had concealed on their persons, so that the Nazis would not have the use of them – their last and only gesture of protest.”

“The bifurcation of Christianity and Judaism was a gradual process. To some extent it was determined by the actions of the Jews themselves. The consolidation of Judaism round the rigorous enforcement of Mosaic law, as a result of the crushing of the reform programme by the Maccabees, was the essential background to the origin and rise of Jewish Christianity. Equally, the drift of Jewish rigorism towards violence, and the head-on collision with the Graeco-Roman world which inevitably followed in 66–70 AD, finally severed the Christian branch of Judaism from its Jewish trunk.”
