“Who is left in the ghetto is the one man in a thousand in any age, in any culture, who through some mysterious workings of force within his soul will stand in defiance against any master. He is that one human in a thousand whose indomitable spirit will not bow. He is the one man in a thousand whose indomitable spirit cannot bow. He is the one man in a thousand who will not walk quietly to Umschlagplatz. Watch out for him, Alfred Funk, we have pushed him to the wall.” Leon Uris Umschlagplatz: During the Holocaust, the Umschlagplatz (German: collection point or reloading point) in the Warsaw Ghetto was the square in Warsaw, German occupied Poland, where Jews were gathered for deportation to the Treblinka extermination camp as part of Operation Reinhard.
