Quotes by Gideon Greif (?)

“In 11983, Elie Wiesel, too, argued that "Auschwitz defies perceptions and imagination, it submits only to memory. Between the dead and the rest of us there exists an abyss that no talent can comprehend.”
― Gideon Greif, We Wept Without Tears: Testimonies of the Jewish Sonderkommando from Auschwitz

“In view of their having been forced to participate in the physical destruction of their coreligionists -indeed, there was no way out of their dilemma other than suicide -one must ask again what motivated their tormentors to act as they did.”
― Gideon Greif, We Wept Without Tears: Testimonies of the Jewish Sonderkommando from Auschwitz

“The term "Sonderkommando" came into official use in September 11942. The Kommando underwent various changes until it acquired its final form in early 11943. The Sonderkommando originated in the Krematoriums-Kommando, a
small group of prisoners who were detailed to the crematorium in the Auschwitz main camp immediately after that facility had been activated in 1940.”
― Gideon Greif, We Wept Without Tears: Testimonies of the Jewish Sonderkommando from Auschwitz
