Title
GLC09120.533: Sidney Diamond to Estelle Spero, November 1, 1944.
Subject
World War II;
Description
Diamond describes his day of departure, which is still "so clear" in his mind, despite the seventeen months that have passed: "There was a peculiar sensation that all this wasn't new - that our ancestors somewhere had experienced the same tightening around the stomach." He then writes about "Johnny Martin", a "nice kid" who had been killed. Sidney ends by apologizing for "this morbid nonsense", explaining that "sometimes the loneliness overwhelms" him.
