Can some things be forgiven?
 The Reader |
“I can’t live without you. The thought of leaving you kills me. Do you love me?”
“It doesn’t matter what I think. It doesn’t matter what I feel. The dead are still dead.”
“- Each of the guards would choose a certain number of women. Hanna Schmitz chose differently.
- In what way differently?
- She had favourites. Girls, mostly young. We all remarked on it, she gave them food and places to sleep. In the evening, she asked them to join her. We all thought – well, you can imagine what we thought. Then we found out – she was making these women read aloud to her. They were reading to her. At first we thought this guard… this guard is more sensitive… she’s more human… she’s kinder. Often she chose the weak, the sick, she picked them out, she seemed to be protecting them almost. But then she dispatched them. Is that kinder?”“I’m not frightened. I’m not frightened of anything. The more I suffer, the more I love. Danger will only increase my love. It will sharpen it, forgive its vice. I will be the only angel you need. You will leave life even more beautiful than you ended it. Heaven will take you back and look at you and say: Only one thing can make a soul complete and that thing is love.”
“How wrong can you be?”
“- You can read it.
- I’d rather listen to you”
