"Still, the lines seemed endless. One
either waited and waited for bread, for water, for toilet
facilities...or waited in line to be buried. Such disaster brings out
the best, the worst, and the dark humor in people. The sight shocked
our teacher, Reb Mottel. Over and over again he would say, 'You see
this line for bread...people want to be first. You see that line of
the dying and the dead...people want to be last!'" (Abram
Korn, Abe's Story: A Holocaust Memoir. Atlanta: Lonstreet Press, 1995. p. 26)
