“Suddenly it all comes down, all at once. You see what you are, what you have done, or, more accurately, what you haven’t done. You remember those early meetings of your department in the university when, if one had stood, others would have stood, perhaps, but no one stood… You remember everything now, and your heart breaks. Too late. You are compromised beyond repair.”
Milton Mayer, They Thought They Were Free: The Germans 1933-1945
