One minute in Auschwitz

“I am often asked how long I was in Auschwitz. My answer is: I do not know. But what I do know is that one minute in Auschwitz was like an entire day, a day was like a year, a month an eternity. How many eternities can a person have in a single lifetime? I do not know the answer to that either…”
– Roman Kent, Auschwitz survivor, at the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz
