  “Well, there's one, I'm sure you read this, but I will bear witness by Victor Klemper. It's a book. somebody described it as the first book that shows the Holocaust in color, as opposed to black and white. So he's a professor, and I think he's in Dresden, and there's this unforgettable scene where he goes into the butcher, who he's known for years, and the butcher says, hey, professor, I'm so sorry, but it's not me, it's Berlin, and he can't sell meat anymore.”
