Philosophical questions about death and religion, colorful characters, and a glimpse of the economic hardship in post WWI Germany. Among my favorite quotes:
" ... one dead man is death - and two million are only a statistic."
"Don't underestimate the wisdom of the Church! It is the only dictatorship that has not been overthrow in two thousand years."
"Perhaps death has a completely wrong name. We can only see it from one side. Perhaps it is perfect love between God and us."
