I was now resolved to do everything in my power to defeat the system.
If you saw a dog going to be crushed under a car, wouldn’t you help him?
I knew the people who worked for me. When you know people, you have to behave towards them like human beings.
Power is when you have every justification to kill someone, and then you don't.
I had to help them. There was no choice.
I hated the brutality, the sadism, and the insanity of Nazism. I just couldn't stand by and see people destroyed. I did what I could, what I had to do, what my conscience told me I must do. That's all there is to it. Really, nothing more.
