I Didn't Want To Be On The Losing Side. I Was Fed Up With Jewish Weakness, Timidity And Fear. I Didn't Want Any More Jewish Sentimentality And Jewish Suffering. I Was Sickened By Our Sad Songs.

During The Second World War, Evacuated To Non-jewish Households, I Encountered Christianity At Home And In School.

Praying Privately In Churches, I Began To Discover That Heaven Was My True Home And Also That It Was Here And Now, Woven Into This Life.
