...hero. For some reason it seems to me that this role is beckoning to us−to move, to take up its lines, put on its costume and give it life. Indeed, we are the only ones who can play it. The role is to spark the tremendous latent strengths in the region surrounding us to create a great power, which will then rise up to a level of dignity and undertake a positive part in building the future of mankind...
With all these delicate shades of meaning, and with all the latent pathos of young girls confined to a convent, Cradle Song can be a wonderfully touching piece of theater. Its off-Broadway performances last winter at New York's Circle-in-the-Square brought handkerchiefs to the eyes of virtually the whole audience, male as well as female.

"My whole life long," he wrote to his sons, "I have been fighting against [the] merciless consistency that is latent in the German and that has found its expression in the National Socialist state." To his wife, he wrote: "[They may] take my goods, my honor, my child and wife; the body they may kill; God's truth abideth still, His kingdom is forever...
