Thursday June 7 ,1945 [Observation in Nernberg ] page 979 " Pushing my head farther out , I can see one spire of the cathedral ,gutted,but still beautiful, dimly silhouetted in the night. Above, there are broken clouds, and the stars are coming out. I feel surrounded by death. Only in the sky is there hope; only in that which man has never touched and which God forbid he ever will ". Friday , June 8, 1945 " We start out at 8:15 , through the ruins and past the cathedral. I see a carving of Christ still standing on a shelf on one of the inner columns, looking down on the rubble which covers the benches where people once came to worship. We stop and go back and look again at the figure apparently untouched "
