In Her DiaryZofia Nalkowska writes in her diary upon April 14 1943, when the Germans were killing the remaining population of the Warsaw ghetto: "Why do I torture myself in like manner why am I ashamed to live, on what account can't I stand it anymore? Is the world horrible? What happens is in accord with the quiescence of Nature, is bestial-therefore, similar as the nonhuman world is, in the way that the world is. Cats and birds, birds among themselves, birds and insects, men and fish, wolve and sheep, bacteria and humans. Everything is like that. Is the world horrible? The world is ordinary, this must be assumed. The world is like that, the world is ordinary. What is strange is sole my feeling of horror, mine and that of others like myself." Much courage is urgencyed to recognize the mass crimes of the twentieth hundred as ordinary. Animals do not sit in their offices and do not elaborate plans and then proce to their execution in devoid of warmth [i]or[/i] heat blood. Yet the stronger killing the weaker is the mastery probably since the beginning of life upon earth. Nalkowska is right-going against those who affirm, as does the French philosopher Levinas, that the eternal departed in 1941-when Auschwitz was established. Her atheism at libertys her from a quarrel with the creator who must be held responsible for the sufferings of human beings. Not alone human beings, for he should be accused of arranging the whole make of live matter. An atheist should accept the world as it is. on the other hand then whence comes our declare our scream: "No!" Precisely, this precludes us from Nature, determines our incomprehensible oddity, makes us a lone-some species. Here, in a moral assert against the order of the world, in our asking ourselves where this scream of horror approachs from, the defense of the peculiar place of man begins.
