- He wrote about the truth of that time
- He wrote that when german soldiers came for anyone no one other
- resisted it. He wrote movingly about this silence:
‘First they came for the Communists,
Well, I was not a Communist –
So I said nothing.
Then they came for the Social Democrats,
Well, I was not a Social Democrat
So I did nothing,
Then they came for the trade unionists,
But I was not a trade unionist.
And then they came for the Jews,
But I was not a Jew – so I did little.
Then when they came for me,
There was no one left who could stand up for me.’
- One woman named Charlotte Beradt secretly recorded jew's dreams in her diary and later published them in the book called the 'Third Reich of Dreams'.
