““We who survived the Camps are not true witnesses. This is an uncomfortable notion which I have gradually come to accept by reading what other survivors have written, including myself, when I re-read my writings after a lapse of years. We, the survivors, are not only a tiny but also an anomalous minority. We are those who, through prevarication, skill or luck, never touched bottom. Those who have, and who have seen the face of the Gorgon, did not return, or returned wordless.””
![“To those of us who survived [...], it also means that we have learned to stand outside our history and watch it, without feeling too much. A little schizoid.” quote by Thomas Pynchon](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/7b3/thomas-pynchon-533_history_to-those-of-us-who-survived-it-also-mean_3064938.jpg)
