| “Yes, my darling, my strong, only Mamuschka. | |
| What I was allowed to experience in these last days is so grand and magnificent, that words can barely describe it. I still had to drain a bitter cup: a human being, in whom I had trusted completely, Gertrud Breiter, betrayed me (and you). But ‘now eat the fruit of your deeds, he who betrays, is betrayed...’ I, too, out of selfishness, have betrayed friends – I wanted to be free and come to you – but believe me, I suffered indescribable guilt feelings for my deed. Now everyone has forgiven me. We are approaching the end with a sense of community, which is possible only in the face of death. Without sorrow, without bitterness. I also know now about the last things of faith, and I know that you are strong and joyful in the awareness of eternal solidarity. Your angel, who stabs the devil (you sent it to me for my birthday), is standing in front of me... If I could ask you for one thing: Tell everyone, everyone, everyone of me. Our death must be a beacon.” |
