Avusturyali yazar ve gazeteci Joseph Roth’un olum yildonumu (27 Mayis 1939)
“Kendimi iyi hissediyordum, evime geri donmustum. Hepimiz pozisyonumuzu, mevkimizi, ismimizi, evimizi ve paramizi yitirmistik. Gecmisi, gunu ve gelecegi. Her sabah uyanirken, her aksam yatarken, o muhtesem solenine bizi bosu bosuna cagiran olume lanet okuyorduk. Ve hepimiz savasta olenlere gipta ediyorduk. Onlar topragin altinda huzurluydular ve gelecek ilkbaharda kemiklerinden menekseler fiskiracakti. Oysa biz, degersiz,ise yaramayan kisiler olarak geri donmustuk. Topal bacaklariyla, olumun begenmedigi,olume adanmis bir nesil. Saglik Komisyonunun karari kesindi: ‘Durumu olmeye uygun degildir.’ " Imparator Mezarligi
“It felt good to be home again. All of us had lost name and rank and station, house and money and net worth, past, present and to come. In the morning when we woke up, and at night when we went to bed, we cursed Death, who had invited us to his great gala celebration. Every one of us envied the fallen. They were resting under the ground, and in springtime violets would sprout from their bones. Whereas we had returned home incurably infertile, with paralysed loins, a doomed race scorned by Death. The verdict of the Commission of Enquiry was without appeal. It read: 'Found unfit for death.' ”
