16. To be creative in the situation of the Holocaust,
this is also a protest Each man when he is
standing face to face with cruel danger, with
death, reacts in his way. The artist reacts with
his means. This is his protest! This is my
means! He reacts in an artistic way. This is his
weapon. He must leave his mark as a mensch
on mankind. This, it shows that the Germans
could not break his spirit.
