Ah, I remembered it pretty accurately. There was a time when I thought that this could never happen in the USA - and maybe it can’t - but I’m not so sure now...

Another thing I remember about “Night” was that a madman showed up in Wiesel’s village several years prior to the Holocaust exclaiming that a fire would consume them all. No one, of course, listened to him.

Thanks for the info.

The first lesson of a fascist is to be hard—in fact the ultimate fascist patriot is so hard that the worse atrocities that a man can imagine is a challenge, one that must be overcome if the greater good of the state is to be accomplished.

Himmler was Hitler's second in command because he was excellent at rationalizing mass murder—made shooting naked unarmed Jews in the back of the neck the same as heroic combat on the battlefield.
