VULTURES
…A German officer lodged in the Kahns' house
across the street from us. We were told he was a charming man,
calm, likable, and polite. Three days after he moved in, he
brought Mrs. Kahn a box of chocolates. The optimists were jubilant:
"Well? What did we tell you? You wouldn't believe us. There
they are, your Germans. What do you say now? Where is their famous cruelty?”
The Germans were already in our town, the Fascists were already
in power, the verdict was already out—and the Jews of Sighet were still smiling…
