Und er geht schonungslos die zentralen Anliegen seines Pontifikats an und wendet sich mutig, nüchtern und prophetisch den wichtigsten Themen unserer Zeit zu.

I'll have to be autobiographical, but follow me if you will into Auschwitz and spend a day there, and meet some of the people in the nameless mass of bodies. Try, if you will, to feel, even for a moment, that you could have been one of them, that in fact you were one of them
