Separated from man made institutions, the core of religion and spirituality-- morality and goodness -- must be preserved, if one is to survive in the midst of horror.

This all-consuming religion demands total obedience and is a key motivation in the Jewish deportation and personal surrender to Germa ...

He grew up being told those ideas but times have changed. Society has become more capitalistic. Willy refuses to adapt and cannot accept a business s ...
