sep 6, 1939 - “it was an ocean we were drowning in, and we planned ways to drag our murderer into it."

Description:

Written in a diary entry from September 6, 1939 in response to the invasion, one
Jewish man felt as if “it was an ocean we were drowning in, and we planned ways to drag our
murderer into it. Whether as punishment or revenge, it didn’t matter. Nor did it matter if this was
the right thing to do. We only wanted to kill, to murder, to shoot our murderer.”89 The constant
expectation of death, beatings, or transportations out of the ghetto had intensified this desire to
fight, and many had been pushed to the edge.
