Letter

In 1914, while stationed at the front, Franz Blümenfeld wrote to his mother. He would be killed eleven days before Christmas.

Your wishing you could provide me with a bullet-proof vest is very sweet of you. But strange to say, I have no fear. None at all of bullets and shells, but only of this great spiritual loneliness. I am afraid of losing my faith in human nature, in myself, in all that is good in the world. How is it possible that it gives me more pain to bear my own loneliness than to witness the suffering of so many others. What is the good of escaping all the bullets and shells if my soul is injured?
