"Wer von denen, die das Konzentrationslager erlebt haben, wüßte nicht von jenen Menschengestalten zu erzählen, die da über die Appellplätze oder durch die Baracken des Lagers gewandelt sind, hier ein gutes Wort, dort den letzten Bissen Brot spendend? Und mögen es auch nur wenige gewesen sein – sie haben Beweiskraft dafür, daß man dem Menschen im Konzentrationslager alles nehmen kann, nur nicht: die letzte menschliche Freiheit, sich zu den gegebenen Verhältnissen so oder so einzustellen. Und es gab ein »So oder so« (Hervorhebung des Autors)!"
