Quote #7

"He said the nothing happened here and that we should take our Jew questions away or that the nothing would happen again." (22.48)

In Chelmno, people being persecuted for their faith (or their presumed faith) isn't yet a thing of the past. There's a bit of discomfort with the town's dark history and a bit of discomfort with Judaism happening here. Get with the times, folks.

Quote #8

Irritated, Becca asked, more pointedly than she meant to, "Do I look Jewish?" Father Stashu smiled. "Not at all." (22.60-22.61)

What's up with Becca asking the priest if she looks Jewish? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

Quote #9

"I cannot forgive them, you know. I can love them but I cannot forgive them. But then—I do not have to. I am not God." (22.100)

The priest in Chelmno notes that his faith does not require that he forgive his flock. That's a good thing, because he is holding that grudge so hard.
