Author of quotes: Pianist

When last year committed the horrible murder of the Jews, the massacre, which killed women and children, I knew that we lose the war, because it is in the same moment lost its meaning as a struggle for living space and degenerated into an unbridled, inhuman, barbaric destruction of the people, which is impossible to justify in the eyes of the German people and which would be severely condemned by the international community. There can be no justification nor torture tortured in the prisons of the poles, nor the executions and brutal atrocities against prisoners of war.

14 Feb 1943.

The national socialists restricted the freedom of their fellow citizens, relegating them to the status of slaves, frightened and deprived of their own will. The truth being concealed from them. Forgotten commandments: do not steal, do not kill, do not lie. All of this: the desire for wealth, illicit enrichment, hatred, deceit, sexual promiscuity, followed by the barrenness and degradation of the nation begins with the rejection of God's commandments.

Where in our people as scum? Is that criminals released from prison, and patients from asylums? No. The thing is the education they have received, and to blame those who occupy high positions in the state. In another situation these people would be no threat. Inside man a lot of evil and animal instincts. It all comes out, if not encounters obstacles. Yes, you need to have the base instincts to kill and destroy Jews and poles.

"The common good above personal." They demand it from grey street, and do not think to live like that. Who fights with the enemy? The people, not the party. To serve in the army even dragged the disabled, and in the party committees and the police, away from the front, sitting a healthy and strong young people.

Talks about the right to free choice of employment, while it all depends on party affiliation. The most capable and brilliant receive retired if he's out of the party. Hitler offers peace to the world, while arming to the teeth. He States publicly that does not threaten other Nations and does not intend to deprive them of the right to self-determination, but what he does with the Czechs, poles and Serbs? In Poland there was no need for people to own land, deprive the state.

During the Bolshevik revolution animal instincts filled with hate demi became the reason of terrible crimes against the ruling class of society. Despite the condemnation and the feeling of pity, it is hard to deny these actions in the determination and hardness. Without any negotiation, illusions or compromise these rebels, striving for your goal, in each deed was broke, regardless of morality, the voice of conscience or their origin. And the Jacobins, and the Bolsheviks massacred the ruling class and executed the Royal family. They broke with Christianity and were against the Catholic religion, a war of extermination. They were able to involve their people in wars that were fought by them with passion and panache, then it was the revolutionary war, now the same war started by the Germans. Theories and ideas of the subversive elements had a huge impact far beyond the borders of their countries.
The methods of the Nazis, but they are based on the same principle: killing and destruction of dissenters.

Today in this house, which has been preserved, placed the school. I sometimes stand there in front of the kids, and unaware of how much suffering and mortal fear I had to endure the classroom.
