During the first 3 years at Auschwitz, 2 million people were killed. Over the next 2 years, 3 Million. - Witold Pilecki

The game which I was now playing in Auschwitz was dangerous. This sentence does not really convey the reality; in fact, I had gone far beyond what people in the real world consider dangerous.

I was not a[n intelligence] resident, only a Polish officer. I carried out my orders until arrested. I had no sense that I was a spy, and I ask that this be taken into account in deciding my verdict.

So they didn't let anybody else off. I can't live anymore, they've done me. Auschwitz was just a child's play.
