Book: Mother Darkness
Quote in English
Quote Explanation: Mengel compares killing a person to tying a suitcase with a belt. As if it were the same thing - tightening a belt on a person’s neck and tightening a belt on a suitcase. If Mengel had not treated this with indifference and irony, the feeling of guilt would have eaten him from the inside.

Quote in English
Quote Explanation: There is a description of the shelling of Dresden and this is how he imagines the bodies of the dead to himself and others. Perhaps by comparing the dead with huge fried grasshoppers, the author is trying to reduce the horror of those times, instilling in anyone who is faced only with the concept of the word war.
