The night was gone. The morning star was shining in the sky. I too had become a completely different person. The student of the Talmud, the child that I was, had been consumed in the flames. There remained only a shape that looked like me. A dark flame had entered into my soul and devoured it.
Elie WieselMy faceless neighbor spoke up: โDonโt be deluded. Hitler has made it clear that he will annihilate all Jews before the clock strikes twelve.โ I exploded: โWhat do you care what he said? Would you want us to consider him a prophet? His cold eyes stared at me. At last he said, wearily: โI have more faith in Hitler than in anyone else. He alone has kept his promises, all his promises, to the Jewish people.
