     Kaj Dio nomis la lumon Tago, kaj la mallumon Li nomis Nokto.

     "Nu, Kefalo," mi diris, "mi ja ĝuas konversacii kun maljunuloj. Mi opinias ke ni devus lerni de personoj kiuj jam laŭiris la vojon laŭ kiu ankaŭ ni mem devos iri. Kia ĝi estas, malglata kaj malfacila? Aŭ facila kaj senĝena? Mi volonte sciiĝus kia vi trovas ĝin, ĉar vi jam atingis tiun aĝon kiun la poetoj nomas 'la sojlo de maljuneco'."

     "Well, Cephalus," I said, "I certainly enjoy conversing with old people. I have the opinion that we should learn from people who already went along the path along which we ourselves will also have to go. What is it like, rough and difficult? Or easy and relaxed? I would willingly find out what kind you consider it, because you have already attained that age which the poets call 'the threshold of oldness'."

     Dum la 1940-aj jaroj la nazioj komencis realigi la tiel nomatan “finan solvon”. Tio estis plano mortigi ĉiujn judojn.

     During the 1940s, the Nazis began to realize the so-called “final solution”. That was a plan to kill all Jews.
