Helen Maryles Shankman Quotes

For Decades Afterwards, I Punished Myself With Images Of Sofia Standing
naked In The Snow, Shivering, Clutching A Chunk Of Cement That A Guard Had Told Her Was Soap, In The Worst Winter Poland Has Ever Known. But As I Stared At The Empty Train Tracks And Thought Of The Stationmaster Making The Schoolyard Slash Across His Throat, I Had No Idea What He Was Talking About. I Could Not Have Conjured Up The Kind Of Man Who Would Be Willing To Design An Oven That Would Be Economically Fueled By The Fat Of The Men, Women And Children It Was Burning. I Would Not Have Believed That These Same Engineers Would Find Other Men Willing To Carry Out Their Monstrous Plans. I, Too, Would Have Dismissed It As Propaganda, That One Kind Of Human Being Could Industriously Collect And Kill Six Million Of Another Kind Of Human Being. Somewhere Along The Line, There Would Have To Be Someone Who Said No.
Forgive Me, Sofia. Forgive Me, Isaiah. I Did Not Know.
