"My entire youth and all my efforts have been dedicated to the most noble cause in the world - the struggle for the future of mankind. However, I can no longer see my own tomorrow. As for the Tower of Babel that I have sacrificed everything for, I now want to burn it down... But I do not have the right to judge it, because I am also a sinner, and my hands have been stained with blood for a long time.
You, all those who have never lost their conscience, I give you all the rights to judge me. I won't argue. Through the eyes of many centuries, you may be able to see a more complete truth.
I have been thinking about what happens when people lose their freedom? I don't believe that people will lose all freedom - when expression is prohibited, silence is a cry; when everything is not allowed, I still have the freedom to die. I firmly believe that as long as there is a real person in the world, the flame of struggle will not go out. We can live like animals, but as long as there are people who believe that they are human, hope will still exist..."
My deepest respect to Vasily Grossman for showing me how to be a human being.
Concept: The world is based on its own deep ruptures
