E7748 outlook

From a concentration camp (Auschwitz) detainee’s diary in Germany during World War II.

E7748 outlook

“You know, if you don’t have the inner strength while you’re here to understand that all outer appearances are a passing show, as nothing beside the great splendor inside us – then things can look very black here indeed.

The misery here is quite terrible and yet late at night when the day has slunk away into the depth behind me, I often walk with a sprint in my step along the barbed wire and then time and again it stirs straight from my heart the feeling that life is glorious and magnificent, and that one day we shall be building a whole new world!
