Quoting Aime Cesaire:

[...] Yes, it would be worthwhile to study clinically, in detail, the steps taken by Hitler and Hitlerism and to reveal to the very distinguished, very humanistic, very Christian bourgeois of the twentieth century that without his being aware of it, he has a Hitler inside him, that Hitler inhabits him, that Hitler is his demon, that if he rails against him, he is being inconsistent and that, at bottom, what he cannot forgive Hitler for is not the crime in itself, the crime against man, it is not the humiliation of man as such, it is the crime against the white man, the humiliation of the white man, and the fact that he applied to Europe colonialist procedures which until then had been reserved exclusively for the Arabs of Algeria, the 'coolies' of India, and the 'niggers' of Africa.

[...] People are astonished, they are indignant. They say: "How curious! But, bah! It's Nazism, it will pass!" And they wait, and they hope; and they hide from themselves the truth -- that it is barbarism, but the supreme barbarism, the one that crowns, the one that sums up the everydayness of barbarisms; that it is Nazism, yes, but that before being its victim, they were its accomplice; that this Nazism, they tolerated it before they suffered it, they absolved it, they turned a blind eye to it, they legitimized it, because, until then, it had only been applied to non-European peoples; that this Nazism, they cultivated it, they are responsible for it, and that it seeps, it pierces, it drips, before swallowing everything in its reddened waters, from all the cracks of Western and Christian civilization.

After more than two decades, I reread Deutsches Requiem, written by Borges in February 1946. Having lived in Germany for more than nine years, I now see this short story in a different light, and Borges’ genius feels even more apparent.

Before returning to Germany this weekend, I will attend a performance of Brahms’s A German Requiem with my parents. The piece explores human compassion, mourning, and fragility. Borges’ short story, on the other hand, presents the perspective of a Nazi concentration camp commandant reflecting on violence and the rejection of empathy.

If you do not have access to The Aleph, the Wikipedia article offers a good summary (with spoilers).
