SEWER

Imagine a jewish person climbing out of the sewers of Warsaw, he has just crawled out from the assault on the Warsaw ghetto. Take his hand and help him out of the hole and help him get cleaned up. He is a very brave man. In your mind are the blue faces of the corpses of Auscwhitz and Treblinka and all the death camps.

Realize their sacrifice, those who died at Auschwitz and Treblinka and in all the death camps, in that they showed us how we our selves could disappear.

I once told a friend of mine that I thought that one hour before a nuclear war, we would all shave our heads, put numbers on our arms, don stripped uniforms and go outside. This is because at that time I had written that "the holocaust was the archetype bearing hallucinatory dominion over all."
