" The life of a human being, let alone his personal freedom, is a matter of no importance. But the love of freedom is native to every human being and every nation, and cannot be suppressed in the long term. History teaches us that tyranny has never endured. And now we have blood-guilt on our conscience for the dreadful injustice of murdering the Jewish inhabitants. "

― Władysław Szpilman , The Pianist: The Extraordinary Story of One Man's Survival in Warsaw, 1939–45
