@jill d I'm not sure.. this is the paragraph
"It was then that I understood what had first appealed to me
about this young Jew: the gaze of a Lazarus risen from the dead
yet still held captive in the somber regions into which he had
strayed, stumbling over desecrated corpses. For him, Nietzsche's
cry articulated an almost physical reality: God is dead, the God of
love, of gentleness and consolation, the God of Abraham, Isaac,
and Jacob had, under the watchful gaze of this child, vanished forever
into the smoke of the human holocaust demanded by the
Race, the most voracious of all idols."
