“Night exists for more than sleep, which is why, my love, we stay awake so often.”

— Manfred Lewin

Excerpt translated from a small notebook Manfred Lewin gave his boyfriend, Gad Beck, containing memories and drawings Lewin had made. Lewin, with his family, died at Auschwitz. Beck kept the notebook for over 50 years before donating it to the Holocaust Memorial Museum.
