Buchenwald Quotes

• El infierno está pasado de moda, en todo caso los infiernos institucionales. Los infiernos poblados del siglo XX son asuntos más privados, los huecos entre los barrotes son las suturas del propio cráneo. Un infierno válido es aquel desde el que existe la posibilidad de redención, aunque nunca se consiga, las mazmorras de una arquitectura de la gracia cuyas agujas apuntan a algún tipo de cielo. A los infiernos institucionales del presente siglo se llega con billetes de ida, marcados Nagasaki y Buchenwald, mundos de horror terminal aún más definitivos que la tumba.

• It appeared that most of the men and boys had died of starvation; they had not been executed. But the manner of death seemed unimportant. Murder had been done at Buchenwald. God alone knows how many men and boys have died there during the last twelve years.

• All the Dachaus must remain standing. The Dachaus, the Belsens, the Buchenwalds, the Auschwitzes - all of them. They must remain standing because they are a monument to a moment in time when some men decided to turn the Earth into a graveyard. Into it they shoveled all of their reason, their logic, their knowledge,,then we become the gravediggers.

• It is difficult for the American mind to adjust to the realization that the Rhetts and the Scarletts were as much monsters as the keepers of Buchenwald-they just dressed more attractively.

• The thing is, Guantánamo is also a naval base, and they're under the delusion - especially the people on the naval side who are not dealing with the prison - that they can just pretend this is an ordinary Caribbean naval base. For them, it's: "Why are you making such a big deal out of the most notorious prison in the world?" It's like if people living near Buchenwald said they wanted to talk about the other lovely things in the region besides the camp.

• The dismembering of a human being routinely in 30 minutes on an outpatient bases - or any other way - is barbaric. Four blocks from our church all year long - like churches within smelling distance of Auschwitz or Dachau or Buchenwald.

• Visitando el Museo Conmemorativo del Holocausto en Washington, D.C., por ejemplo, me sorprendió su marginación de cualquier otra víctima aparte de los judíos, hasta el punto de que presentaba fotografías de cadáveres en campos como Buchenwald o Dauchau como cadáveres judíos, cuando en realidad eran relativamente pocos los prisioneros judíos recluidos allí.
