I don't want to be told that it's the people with power over us who are guilty, that we're innocent slaves, that we're not guilty because we're not free. I am free! Furthermore, I'm building a Vernichtungslager; I have to answer to the people who'll be gassed here. Furthermore, I can say "No". There's nothing can stop me—as long as I can find the strength to face my destruction.

Vasily Grossman
