Room 3. Forgetting the most precious thing. How can an encounter turn into loneliness?

When evil bursts into the world, encounters with others can either be strengthened through solidarity or broken. Dialogue between friends risks turning into silence when togetherness becomes abandonment. For Mihail Sebastian, a Jewish writer, the loss of a friendship was equivalent to the loss of oneself. He therefore cultivated his friendships with persistence and loyalty, but Romanian anti-Semitism, which intensified in the 1940s, destroyed many of them.
