A moral obligation? We don’t believe in either the morality of man or the morality of any kind of system. Books and devotional items were on display in the shop windows of German cities, but the crematoriums were emitting smoke in the forests.

All these people who, because of phlegmon, scabies, and typhus, and also because they were too thin, were going to the gas chamber, begged the nurses (who were loading them into the crematorium trucks) to look and remember. And to tell the truth about man to those who haven’t learned it by experience.
