“History, in the end, is only another kind of story, and stories are different from the truth. The truth is messy and chaotic and all over the place. Often it just doesn’t make sense. Stories make things make sense, but the way they do that is to leave out anything that doesn’t fit. And often that is quite a lot.”
― Paul Murray, Skippy Dies

“I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of any thing than of a book! -- When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.”

“Meiner Meinung nach war Höss der Mann, der am meisten Verantwortung für die Zustände in Auschwitz trug. Er war derjenige, der für alle Lager in der Gegend zuständig war. Reichsführer Himmler ist natürlich für alle Konzentrationslager zuständig. Zu keinem Zeitpunkt habe ich irgendwelche schriftlichen Befehle in Bezug auf die Konzentrationslager gesehen.”
― Thomas Harding, Hanns und Rudolf: Der deutsche Jude und die Jagd nach dem Kommandanten von Auschwitz | Mit zahlreichen s/w-Abbildungen
