Because we can't comprehend it, and that's what allows us to do it again. and it is the normal, it's the average person that can do this. again, in an imaginary other universe, maybe we'd have done it. that's the terrible truth that lies at the heart of each of us; that imponderable, 'were i not jewish, in hungary, czechoslovakia, germany, would i have gone down on the other side?'

We should never forget that everything adolf hitler did in germany was “legal” and everything the hungarian freedom fighters did in hungary was “illegal.” it was “illegal” to aid and comfort a jew in hitler’s germany. even so, i am sure that, had i lived in germany at the time, i would have aided and comforted my jewish brothers. if todayi lived in a communist country where certain principles dear to the christian faith are suppressed, i would openly advocate disobeying that country's antireligious laws.
