    Hannah is keen to listen and read aloud, and the stronger her yearning for the good things in the cultural world, the stronger her disgust and fear of her illiterate identity, which are two sides of the same emotion. This made her almost frantically embark on a path of maintaining and pursuing dignity, and she would not hesitate to lie and abandon her work and those who love her. How far will you go to protect the...

    The picture of reading aloud to you when I was young at that time is too beautiful and touching (sometimes I also imagine reading a book with a loved one, our voices will be knotted in the air and will never be separated again) .

The Reader quotes

  • Rose Mather: People ask all the time what I learned in the camps. But the camps weren't therapy. What do you think these places were? Universities? We didn't go there to learn. One becomes very clear about these things. What are you asking for? Forgiveness for her? Or do you just want to feel better yourself? My advice, go to the theatre, if you want catharsis. Please. Go to literature. Don't go to the camps. Nothing comes out of the camps. Nothing.

  • Professor Rohl: Societies think they operate by something called morality, but they don't. They operate by something called law.

    Professor Rohl: 8000 people worked at Auschwitz. Precisely 19 have been convicted, and only 6 of murder.

    Professor Rohl: The question is never "Was it wrong", but "Was it legal". And not by our laws, no. By the laws at the time.
