Timothy Snyder Quotes
In October 1941, Mahilue Became Teh First Substantial City In Occupied Soviet Belarus Where Almost All Jews Were Killed. A German (Austrian) Policeman Wrote To His Wife Of His Feelings And Experiences Shooting The City's Jews In The First Days Of The Month. 'During The First Try, My Hand Trembled A Bit As I Shot, But One Gets Used To It. By The Tenth Try I Aimed Calmly And Shot Surely At The Many Women, Children, And Infants. I Kept In Mind That I Have Two Infants At Home, Whom These Hordes Would Treat Just The Same, If Not Ten Times Worse. The Death That We Gave Them Was A Beautiful Quick Death, Compared To The Hellish Torments Of Thousands And Thousands In The Jails Of The GPU. Infants Flew In Great Arcs Through The Air, And We Shot Them To Pieces In Flight, Before Their Bodies Fell Into The Pit And Into The Water.'
