“People ask me ‘What did you learn?’ And I think I am only sure of one thing — nobody knows themselves. The nice person on the street, you ask him, ‘Where is North Street?’ and he goes with you half a block and shows you, and is quite nice and kind. That person in a different situation could be a sadist. Nobody knows themselves. All of us could be good people or bad people in these different situations. Sometimes when somebody is really nice to me I find myself thinking, ‘How would he be in Sobibor?’” – Toivi Blatt, survivor of the Nazi death camp, Sobibor (PUBLISHED 10/13/2014)
