“The mood of the wedding anniversary? I feel old, I have no confidence in my heart, I do not believe that I have much time left to me, I do not believe that I shall live to see the end of the Third Reich, and I let myself drift along fatalistically without especial despair and cannot give up hope.”

I Will Bear Witness, Volume 1: A Diary of the Nazi Years: 1933-1941
