...Negro the night before the Quebracho uprising." Borges contrasts this world of heightened perceptions with the real world of clumsy generalizations. In Deutsches Requiem, a commandant of a Nazi concentration camp becomes an example of an overthinking man. Stifling his feelings and perceptions, he justifies the slaughter of Jews because he believes that war purifies mankind. He rationalizes Nazi defeat by the same philosophy. "We taught the world violence and the faith of the sword," he exults, as the Allies close...
With full independence for a Moslem-run Algeria only weeks away, the country's million Europeans are deservedly fearful of what the future may bring. The daily slaughter of Moslem men. women and children by ruthless S.A.O. gunmen continues; so far, the Moslems have not massively retaliated.

He conceded there had been excesses, particularly in the indiscriminate slaughter of Moslems, but blamed them on "difficulties" in the chain of command. Maintaining a straight face. Jouhaud announced: "We deplore everything that opposes the two communities" of Europeans and Moslems, and insisted that the S.A.O. played the part of "moderator" between them. Cross-examined by the president of the court. Jouhaud tried...
