But what is the other terms for it?

Dear Mr. Lesser,

Thank you for doing this and I appreciate what might be one of the few remaining opportunities to talk with an actual holocaust survivor. Before I get to my question, there is a story that I would like to share with you. My grandfather was a communist and fled Germany in 1933. When I was a kid, he told me how he returned to Germany a few weeks prior to May 1945, and how he came to a train station where, a few hours earlier, an allied bomb had hit the tracks and Jews who were locked in the train cars destined for concentration camps in the East had used the opportunity to try and escape. My grandfather told me that he met a conductor, a regular civilian, who bragged to him how he himself shot several escaping Jews, one of whom was on his knees begging for his life.

This is something that has stuck with me. In the historical retrospective, it is difficult to fathom the depths of human cruelty. From today's perspective, it just seems incomprehensible. So my question is: how did you manage to move on, having seen the absolute worst of what human nature has to offer? And did you find a way for yourself to keep some measure of faith in human goodness, despite having been confronted with what we cannot describe as anything but pure evil? Did you find some kind of light for yourself?

Thank you very much and I wish you all the best!

How was Lemmy like as a person, once you get beyond all that "we're Motorhead and we play rock'n'roll" attitude? Any personal impressions you could share?
