Quote by Martin Luther

Every man must do two things alone; he must do his own believing and his own dying.

Summary

This quote, attributed to American philosopher Martin Luther King Jr., emphasizes the inherent individuality and personal nature of two profound aspects of life - belief and death. Believing refers to the act of forming personal convictions, values, and principles, highlighting the importance of independent thought and decision-making. Dying, on the other hand, signifies the ultimate journey each person embarks on alone, emphasizing the deeply personal nature of this inevitable experience. It serves as a reminder that these essential aspects of life cannot be shared or accomplished collectively, instead requiring individuals to confront them individually.

Since the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, historians have become both more accurate and more honest fractionally more brave, one might say about that 'other' cleansing of the regions and peoples that were ground to atoms between the upper and nether millstones of Hitlerism and Stalinism. One of the most objective chroniclers is Professor Timothy Snyder of Yale University. In his view, it is still 'Operation Reinhardt,' or the planned destruction of Polish Jewry, that is to be considered as the centerpiece of what we commonly call the Holocaust, in which of the estimated 5.7 million Jewish dead, 'roughly three million were prewar Polish citizens.' We should not at all allow ourselves to forget the millions of non-Jewish citizens of Belarus, Russia, Ukraine, and other Slav territories who were also massacred. But for me the salient fact remains that anti-Semitism was the regnant, essential, organizing principle of all the other National Socialist race theories. It is thus not to be thought of as just one prejudice among many.
